Click image to enlargeUnique cutting geometry gives Greenleaf Corp.’s XSYTIN-360 high-performance solid ceramic end mills ten times higher productivity, leading to tremendous cost savings.
The material’s strength allows the user to apply chip loads similar to solid carbide end mills with higher speeds common to ceramic machining.
Greenleaf’s XSYTIN-1 material is engineered to machine a wider variety of materials than any other ceramic in the industry. The structure of this phase-toughened ceramic exhibits high wear resistance and outstanding thermal shock resistance, which makes the end mills highly predictable and versatile.
These end mills have proven to be extremely effective when machining a variety of different materials including high-temperature alloys, 3D-printed sintered high-temperature alloys, hardened steels, ductile cast irons, and compacted graphite iron (CGI). In hardened steels specifically, the tool life has proven to be equal to high-performance carbide end mills when run at high-end speeds (11,460 RPM), while also removing over 73 cubic inches (over 1200 cubic cm) of material.
Unique features and benefits of XSYTIN-360 end mills include:
- Unique flute design minimizes cutting forces, which reduces vibrations and optimizes tool life
- Four-flute design allows for maximum material removal in slotting, pocketing, and profiling applications
- Overall length of the end mills provides the option for regrind capabilities
- A very broad application range means numerous machining centers are capable of running these end mills
- Extremely versatile end mills with twice the feed rate capability and a much broader speed range
Calling it an industry first, Emuge's MultiTap is a high performance tap designed for threading a range of materials including carbon steel, steel alloys, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass and bronze.
Iscar Tool's latest innovations includes new adjustable-pocket face mills in the Alutang family, designed to carry primarily PCD or PCBN tipped inserts for use on cast iron, hardened steel, aluminum or any other non-metallic materials.
New high performance taps for large diameter tapping from Kennametal feature a wear-resistant powder metal substrate and proprietary top layers and coatings, designed wind turbine component machining of hubs, rings and gearbox housings.

Whatever your machining process, external or internal threading is likely a part of your manufacturing process.
Coolant can be an effective way to cool a cutting tool, help expel the chip and prevent built up edge.
