EMUGE-FRANKEN USA announced it has expanded three-fold the range of TOP-Cut VAR, its most popular multipurpose high-performance end mills. A versatile variable helix carbide tool solution, TOP-Cut VAR end mills now comprise over 1,200 tools that are manufactured in the USA in EMUGE's West Boylston, MA, facility to stringent EMUGE-FRANKEN Germany specifications.

"Featuring unique geometry and coating, TOP-Cut VAR end mills are as effective in multiple job shop applications as they are in challenging production cutting operations," said a company spokesperson.

The TOP-Cut VAR line is now available in 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-flute configurations, with or without corner radius, and ball nose, stub, standard and long length inch sizes. In addition, EMUGE-FRANKEN USA can provide custom variations or tool modifications of TOP-Cut VAR mills.

"TOP-Cut VAR end mills feature unique flute and profile geometries optimized for long tool life and superior performance in roughing and finishing applications," said the spokesperson. "Variable helix angle flutes provide extensive vibration dampening and are precision ground with advanced edge preparation to maximize chip evacuation. A chamfer feature protects cutting edges to prevent chipping, and end mills with fully blended corner radiuses extend tool life while providing improved surface finishes. All TOP-Cut VAR end mills have an advanced ALCR PVD coating that enables outstanding performance and extended life in higher operating temperatures, and a proprietary sub-micro grain carbide provides maximum abrasion resistance and durability."
