VF-2MD / VF-4MD
The VF-2MD and VF-4MD are a range of 2 and 4 flute square type end mills, the successful IMPACT MIRACLE series for high speed, high hardness and high efficiency machining. Optimization of the cross section flute geometry and helix angle with a balance of low cutting resistance and excellent fracture resistance results in stable performance when machining of hardened materials and high speed machining. Additionally, utilization of the IMPACT MIRACLE coating, popular for hardened steel machining allows for extended tool life.

Features of the VF-2MD and VF-4MD

1.
An optimized cross-section flute geometry and helix angle offers both low cutting resistance and high fracture resistance, leading to stable machining of hardened steel.
2.
Use of Impact Miracle coating with superior heat resistance. Delivers higher film hardness, higher oxidation resistance and a lower friction coefficient for precision, high quality machining.
