When machining graphite electrodes or brittle ceramics, tool edge failure is the leading cause of downtime. The SAMHO 4-Flute Corner Radius Series is designed to solve this, offering a reinforced cutting edge and high-efficiency removal rates that standard 2-flute tools cannot match.
Advanced Technical Features
- High-Adhesion Diamond Coating for Extreme Abrasion Resistance
Graphite and ceramics are highly abrasive. Our proprietary Diamond Coating provides a chemically inert, ultra-hard barrier that:- Resists Abrasive Wear: Maintains sharp cutting edges for 18+ hours
- Thermal Stability: Supports high-speed dry machining and MQL without coating delamination
- Corner Radius Geometry for Reinforced Edges
Unlike sharp square end mills, the Corner Radius design distributes cutting forces more evenly:- Enhanced Edge Strength: Minimizes stress concentration and prevents corner chipping
- Superior Surface Finish: Ideal for precision contouring, cavity finishing, and complex 3D transitions
- 4-Flute High-Rigidity Design
Optimized for high-efficiency side milling and finishing:- Increased Stiffness: Reduces tool deflection and vibration during high-feed operations
- Better Surface Quality: More cutting edges allow finer finishes at higher traverse speeds compared to 2-flute tools
- Ultrafine Carbide Substrate & ±0.01 mm Tolerance
Built on an ultrafine-grain solid carbide substrate for maximum fracture toughness. Using advanced 5-axis CNC grinding, dimensional tolerance is maintained at ±0.01 mm for repeatable high-precision results in graphite molds and ceramic structural parts
Ideal Applications
- Graphite Electrode Machining: High-efficiency milling for EDM electrodes
- Technical Ceramics: Machining zirconia, alumina, and electroceramics
- Hard/Brittle Composites: Precision cutting of glass-fiber and carbon-fiber reinforced materials
Pro-Tips for Maximum Performance
- Cooling Strategy: Best used in dry cutting with a powerful dust extraction system or MQL; immediate removal of abrasive dust prevents secondary tool wear
- Precision Setup: Use non-contact tool setters during CNC setup to protect the diamond edge
- Feed Rate Optimization: The 4-flute design allows higher feed rates than 2-flute tools; consult the SHGLSR 4 Milling Conditions table for optimal parameters
