Mikron Tool’s CrazyMill Cool Micro is a micro endmill specially developed to handle difficult and very difficult-to-machine materials. It is available in diameters from .008" to .039" for a maximum milling depth of 5XD.
The company says this tool represents a successful transfer of complex high-performance cutting geometries to a micro endmill. The micro set features a material-specific cutting geometry S and SX, high cutting-edge stability, an innovative cooling concept, and an ultrafine carbide grade and homogeneous coating.
The micro endmill is said to offer the advantages of high-performance milling with high profile precision and no overheating of the cutting edges. It also offers a chip-free milling zone and excellent surface quality.
Benefits include a three times shorter milling process and two times longer tool life. It is said to also offer high process reliability under the most challenging conditions and almost burr-free workpiece.
