High-precision solid carbide micro end mills (0.1-0.95mm) engineered for electronics, medical devices, and precision mold manufacturing. Available in GM (≤38HRC), PM (≤55HRC), and ALC (DLC for non-ferrous) series. 2-flute, long reach, and ball nose variants for ultimate micro machining flexibility.
±0.005mm diameter tolerance and <0.003mm runout ensure micron-level accuracy for medical implants, watch components, and micro-mold detailing.
TiSiN (GM) for ≤38HRC steel, AlTiCrN (PM) for ≤55HRC hardened steel, and DLC (ALC) for zero-adhesion aluminum/copper/graphite machining.
2-flute geometry with wide gullets prevents chip packing in gummy micro materials. Critical for maintaining cutting efficiency and preventing tool breakage.
Extended flute variants (2-10mm) with reinforced cores enable deep slotting and 3D profiling in restricted spaces without compromising rigidity.
Ball nose variants deliver smooth spherical interpolation for micro jewelry, watch dials, and intricate medical device surfaces with mirror-like finishes.
Advanced PVD/DLC coatings reduce friction heat by 30-50%, extending micro tool life by 3-5x compared to uncoated alternatives.
Purpose-built cutting solutions for unique machining challenges
Choosing the right micro diameter series depends on workpiece hardness, material type, and required cavity depth. Match your application below.
| Feature | GM Micro Series | PM Micro Series | ALC Micro Series |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coating | TiSiN (Blue-Grey) | AlTiCrN (Purple) | DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) |
| Max Hardness | ≤40 HRC | ≤55 HRC | Non-Ferrous Only |
| Best For | Pre-hardened steel, stainless | Hardened steel, tool steel | Aluminum, copper, graphite |
| Chip Flow | Optimized 2-flute | Optimized 2-flute | Ultra-low friction 2-flute |
| Long Reach | Available (2-10mm) | Available (2-10mm) | Available (2-10mm) |
Micro tools lack core rigidity, causing chatter and fracture during deep cuts.
✅ Solution: Reinforced core diameters, conservative stepover (2-5% D), and precision collets (<0.002mm runout).
Gummy materials pack flute valleys, causing recutting and sudden tool failure.
✅ Solution: 2-flute wide gullets, air blast/MQL evacuation, and climb milling with consistent feed rates.
Poor thermal conductivity concentrates heat at micro tips, accelerating wear.
✅ Solution: Advanced PVD/DLC coatings, high RPM with low fz, and optimized 3D stepover strategies.
Precision slotting of aluminum heat sinks, copper busbars, and miniature connectors.
Micro profiling of surgical instruments, implant components, and diagnostic parts.
Intricate 3D detailing of watch movements, dials, and precious metal components.
Micro cavity machining for connectors, optical lenses, and miniature dies.
