Premium solid carbide end mills bring unmatched cutting performance, long tool life and high process security to demanding parts production in industry segments such as aerospace, medical, mold and die, and power generation.The high quality, low cost production advantages of these end mills come as a direct result of dedicated micro-grain carbide structures, optimized flute lengths, specialized edge honing and wear-resistant coatings.
Seco offers a complete range of high performance solid carbide square shoulder end mills, ballnose cutters and finish end mills for high productivity and extended tool life. This range covers universal products and optimized end mills for specific workpiece materials.
Universal products offer full machining flexibility at an excellent price/performance ratio.
Optimized endmills are dedicated for original equipment manufacturers and first-tier suppliers where large batches of a single component have to be machined and where processes need to be fully optimized to reduce cycle times, reducing costs per part.
Seco provides a range of dedicated solid carbide tools specifically engineered for advanced roughing strategies. Optimized cutting lengths, multi flutes and chipsplitter geometries offer maximized performance with modern toolpath cycles where controlled arc of contact is a key prerequisite.
Seco high feed solid carbide end mills have the typical high feed front-end geometry resulting in chip thinning. Due to this chip-thinning effect, relative high feed rates can be applied as a compensation factor for the small average chip thickness, helping eliminate vibration and tool deflection.
High feed machining is the first choice for applications with deep and shallow workpiece features, 3D profiling for mold & die applications and machining in unstable conditions. High feed tools excel in plunge milling machine methods.
Seco offers a complete range of solid carbide endmills designed and engineered for high speed machining methods, commonly applied in the mold & die industry. These applications demand close tolerance components where surface integrity is of utmost importance.
These tools are characterized by high precision tolerances, short cutting lengths, reduced necks and significant core diameters, maximizing rigidity. These tools have been developed to excel in peripheral milling and copy milling machining methods.
Seco’s range of micro solid carbide end mills consists of square end mills and ballnose cutters with small cutting diameters. Universal tools are applicable for common workpiece materials and specific tools are dedicated for graphite and hardened-steel applications. All tools have a thin layered coating for optimal performance in small-sized applications.
Seco presents a complete solid carbide end mill product range for the machining of glass and carbon fiber reinforced plastics. It consists of diamond-coated and uncoated solid carbide and PCD end mills incorporating different geometries as well as with PCD-brazed cutting edges. This is a product range offering optimized tools for difficult cutting conditions on challenging workpiece materials.
As the name implies, this range of Seco solid carbide tools covers basic end mills for basic machining operations. It includes universal coated and uncoated endmills, a range of products dedicated for machining plastics and aluminum, chamfer end mills and conical tools. These products consist of high-quality grades and coatings for predictable and premium tool life.
Seco diamond-coated solid carbide end mills are designed specifically for machining graphite. They offer up to 10 times more tool life than milling cutters with conventional coatings. Available in a variety of geometries and an extensive diameter range, these tools feature the best possible substrate to ensure the perfect adhesion of the diamond coating across a range of cutting parameters. Overall, these end mills significantly increase productivity and lower tooling costs by requiring fewer tool changes and being able to produce precision parts at high feed rates.
