Existing Product

2.0482” Dia. 4-Flute End Mill

Goal

A manufacturer of mounting arms for general engineering applications needed better chip control in a roughing operation on A572 structural steel, with the broader objective of lowering total machining cost.

Strategy

The previous setup was limited by lower flute count and feed rate, which capped productivity and chip evacuation. Kyocera engineers recommended the MFH-Raptor Milling system, a high-feed face mill paired with the PR1825 grade, whose higher flute count and increased feed per tooth boosted material removal while improving chip control in the demanding roughing application.

Result

The implementation of the MFH-Raptor delivered a 136% increase in tool life, a 67% reduction in tool running cost, and a 24% reduction in total cost per part. The customer saved more than $11,000 annually.
