Anexcitingnewtool

The Eliminator CBT is an exciting new tool that takes a segment of a circle to form the radius of the flute, which enables improved step down strategies when compared to ballnose endmills.

Until now the conventional way to produce a required finish was to use a ballnose. This limits the step down, generally calculated as:–

ap = 0.02 x D1

For example, a 10.00mm diameter ballnose can achieve an ap of 0.20mm.

Therefore, increasing the step down would require a much larger diameter cutter which would not be practical.

Quickgrind’sCBTdoesnothavesuchlimitationsThe CBT’s contact area is much greater because the flute radius is adapted from the segment of a much larger circle. If you wanted to increase the step down from 0.2mm to 5.0mm you would need a 250mm diameter ballnose. However, by taking a segment of a 250mm diameter circle to form the flute of your tool, you can achieve a tool diameter of 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm or even 16mm.

Conical Barrel Tools are suitable for remanufacture by Quickgrind. Our unique process, Quickedge, can give you up to 7x extra usage out of your carbide tooling. And with material costs continuing to increase you can’t afford to ignore the benefits

that remanufacture offers.

• Tools controlled by size, number of reissues and remanufactures

• Reduced logistics costs

• Extremely attractive price/performance over the life of the tool

Remanufacture doesn’t mean compromising on quality. It has always been our policy to produce tools of such high quality that they can be used more than once. Which means that even after seven Quickedge

remanufactures you will continue to enjoy new tool performance.

Ask for a sample and discover why remanufacture is the right choice for your business.
