Kyocera MEW End Mill 90° Tooling System
The Kyocera MEW End Mill is a 90° shoulder milling cutter featuring double-sided 4-edge inserts. Manufactured by Kyocera, this tooling solution uses advanced insert-forming technology to reduce cutting forces down to levels equivalent to positive inserts while maintaining high structural rigidity and chattering resistance.
Performance Advantages of the Kyocera MEW End Mill
Combining double-sided economy with smooth cutting action, this 90° shoulder end mill offers significant operating improvements across varied milling applications:
- Economical 4-Edge Inserts: Utilizes double-sided inserts (LOMU10 and LOMU15 types) providing 4 usable cutting edges to optimize tool cost efficiency.
- Low Cutting Force Structure: High actual rake angle geometry (up to +20°) lowers cutting resistance to match positive inserts, reducing spindle load.
- Obtuse Edge Toughness: Features an obtuse cutting edge design that enhances edge strength and prevents chipping during high-feed milling.
- Improved Wall Finish & Low Burr: Helical cutting edges minimize machining vibration, suppress burr formation on shoulder walls, and ensure surface quality.
- Enhanced Installation Accuracy: A wide contact face on the toolholder pocket improves clamping stability and insert installation precision.
- New DLC Coating Grade (PDL025): Extends tool longevity and prevents built-up edge when machining aluminum alloys and non-ferrous materials.
- Versatile Chipbreaker Range: Includes GM (general purpose), SM (low cutting force), GH (heavy milling), and AM (aluminum and non-ferrous metals).
Vibration Control & Helical End Mill Lineup
Adopting the Kyocera MEW End Mill minimizes vibration and burr formation during shoulder milling. In addition, the expanded series includes MEWH helical end mills, catering to long-overhang and deep shoulder milling operations with high durability.
