VTC AND HITACHI EXTEND LIFE OF
CARBIDE END MILLS WITH NEW CS COATING.

Schaumburg, IL - With a focus on efficient production and long-lasting performance, Vega Tool Corporation's (VTC) line of Hitachi tooling continues to gain attention. Featuring a patented CS coating, their latest carbide end mills are no exception. This coating effectively prolongs the life of the tooling to which it is applied.

Hitachi CS coating consists of nano-crystal that improves end mill lubricity, without compromising tooling hardness. In fact, the CS uses less friction than conventional coatings, improving the quality of the finished surface. In applications using carbon steel cutting, Hitachi CS-coated power balls perform three times longer than TiAIN-coated tooling. This coating technology, combined with Hitachi tooling geometries, result in enhanced efficiency and accuracy, especially when used with carbon steels.

CS-coated tooling is ideal for use with materials ranging from mild steel to pre-hardened steels up to 40 HRC, in either wet or dry cutting operations.

Along with carbide tooling, VTC's Hitachi line includes indexable insertable tooling. Indexable insertable tooling is designed for the high-feed machining of hardened materials. This line removes up to three times more cubic inches of metal per minute than competitor tooling.

Hitachi tooling is best suited for automotive, mold & die, aerospace, medical and oil patch industries.
