Horn has expanded its milling cutter range for ultra-precision machining with the addition of new micro end mills with monocrystalline diamond (MCD) inserts.
The extremely sharp, flawlessly polished cutting edges can produce a surface quality of Rz 0.02 mm.
MCD tools are ideal for finishing of aluminium alloys, non-ferrous metals and precious metals such as gold and platinum. They are also used for mirror-finish machining of plastics such as polycarbonates and PMMA.
When using MCD micro end mills to carry out ultra-precision machining of tools and moulds, there is no need to polish the components by hand afterwards. The single-edged tools are available as ball nose milling cutters from 0.1 mm to 3 mm in diameter.
