Cut Like New Again

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AGGRESSIVE CUTS SHORTER CYCLE TIMES HIGHER PROFITS</h2>New POW•R•FEED M935 5-flute end mills are created with a revolutionary new grinding process for exceptionally high metal removal rates and the smoothest, most effortless cutting action in titanium, stainless steels, and mild steels.“Our primary goal is to help our customers cut through any barriers to higher productivity,” said Matt Osburn, Vice President, Technical Director for IMCO. “This new POW•R•FEED M935 line puts a lot of new possibilities on the table, especially for shops using conventional machining.”“Our mission was to develop faster, more productive end mills capable of higher speeds and extremely aggressive tool paths in the materials machine shops use most,” Osburn said. “These M935 end mills prevent clogs – so that downtime goes away – and cut faster to maximize your output, no matter what kind of machining centers you use.”<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Multi-Parabolic Grinding</h3>IMCO employs a revolutionary process called multi-parabolic grinding (MPG) to produce unique end face, flute and core geometries that make extremely aggressive tool paths possible – even with complex movements.“Those special geometries work together to eliminate chip pollution and crank the MRR higher at speeds you never thought possible,” Technical Support Manager Steve Avers explained. “This free cutting action means you can run to the machine’s upper capacity. Of course, M935 end mills also get an exclusive high-lubricity AlTiSiN coating to keep those chips flying and keep the tools running cooler. And it’s especially great at plunging and slotting.“You get faster feed rates, shorter cycle times, maximized output and greater profits, every shift, every day.”POW•R•FEED M935 end mills’ unique flute and core designs also open the door for extremely aggressive tool paths, stepovers and depths. The core is super-tuff carbide with a business end that offers fine cutting edges with amazing strength plus a wiper flat end for smooth floor finishes. All edges are prepped for long, long life.POW•R•FEED M935 end mills are an extension of IMCO’s POW•R•FEED M9 workhorse end mills. Already very affordable alternatives to competitors’ high-performance tools for machining these metals, IMCO M935 end mills save users at every turn. Overall, for all tools in the POW•R•FEED line, the price-to-performance ratio is exceptional.“This is a highly competitive industry,” Osburn said. “It’s our privilege to give our customers every advantage they need for higher productivity and profitability.”

POW•R•FEED M935

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Put POWER back in traditional tool paths</h2>Perrysburg, Ohio, USA – February 2, 2025 – IMCO Carbide Tool recently announced development of a new, highly versatile cutting tool: new POW-R-FEED M934 4-flute end mills cut extremely aggressive tool paths in a wide range of materials machine shops use most – steel (all types), titanium, plastics, brass, bronze, even aluminum.“As always, our primary goal is to create or improve cutting tools to help our customers achieve their goals. This new extension of the POW-R-FEED M9 series actually exceeded our expectations,” said Matt Osburn, Vice President, Technical Director for IMCO.“These new M934 cutters not only prevent chip clogging, which cuts a lot of downtime; they’re far superior to other 4-flutes at ramping and helical entry; they’re incredibly versatile at performing any operation for a 4-fluter, and they get higher performance from machining centers to maximize output, regardless of horsepower.”<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Masterfully versatile, can-do tools</h2>While M934 cutters easily tackle any operation any legacy 4-flute mill can, they also can perform the extremely aggressive cuts and complex moves legacy 4-flute cutters can’t. Also effective in HEM tool paths, M934 cutters ensure smooth, clog-free operation in 3- to 5-axis machines. So, whatever you need from a 4-flute end mill, M934 cutters can do it at faster feed rates, reduced cycle times and greater profits.“With highly popular 20 horsepower 40 taper machines, the M934 cutter actually maximizes the machines’ output,” explained Steve Avers, IMCO’s Technical Support Manager. “One of the best things about these cutters is the free cutting action. This keeps the cutter turning at high speed and the chips flying. This design eliminates cutting-zone barriers to higher productivity, so machines can run at higher speeds, crank out more parts and produce to its upper capacity limits.“It works this way because we designed them to work this way,” Avers said. “Aggressive flute and end-face geometries and an exclusive super-slick AlTiSN coating work as a system to keep those chips moving. So, you get higher feeds and metal removal rates, and better output all shift, all day.”POW-R-FEED M934 cutters’ unique flute and core designs also open the door for extremely aggressive tool paths, stepovers and depths. The core is super-tuff carbide with a business end that offers fine cutting edges with amazing strength plus a wiper flat end for smooth floor finishes. All edges are prepped for long, long life.POW-R-FEED M934 end mills are the latest extension of IMCO’s POW-R-FEED M9 line of workhorse cutting tools. And M934 cutters are very affordable alternatives to competitors’ high-performance tools for machining these metals, Osburn said, saving customers even more.“As with other tools in this line,” Osburn said, “the price-to-performance ratio is exceptional.“We do whatever it takes to give our customers the edge and help them achieve higher productivity and profitability.
