The VariMill 2 Solid Carbide End Mill with internal coolant supply provides excellent performance in slotting and profiling operations with longer tool life.

Usage
Materials: Series 57I8 and 57H8 – specifically for Titanium alloys and Stainless Steels.
Where higher metal removal rates will save the user time & money
Where different tools are used for roughing, semi-finishing and finishing passes
Where different tools are used for slotting and profiling operations
All VariMill II™ end mills are designed to efficiently remove the most amount of material in the least amount of time.

Target Markets
Aerospace, Energy
There are many competitors but no one dominates. In most markets Hanita’s VariMill I is often considered the leader in
this style end mill.

Features, Functions and Benefits
Customers will benefit from
Increased tool life
Better chip removal
Reduced machining temperature
High metal removal rates
Fewer setups
Only one tool for both roughing and finishing operations

These benefits are achieved due to
VariMill II™’s unique design which enables heavier cuts (slotting and heavy side milling)
5 Flutes with unequal flute spacing
Unique end geometry for maximum strength
Proprietary flute form enabling very heavy cuts
Internal coolant channels for increased tool life
Multiple OAL (overall length) and LOC (length od cut) options

Key Selling Arguments
Enables true, chatter-free machining to provide maximum metal removal rates
High metal removal rate
Increased tool life due to internal coolant
5 flutes increase feed per revolution and improve surface finishes
One tool for roughing and finishing operations
Effective slotting up to full 1xD axial depth
Effective in side milling up to 0.5D radial by 1.5xD axial depth

Product Portfolio
VariMill II™ Carbide End Mills with internal coolant are offered as standard with Weldon flats and with cutting diameters from 16mm to 25mm.
Series 57I8 (short version) and 57H8 (long version) for Titanium Alloys.

All standard tools from these series have
Internal coolant
5 flutes
AlTiN Coating

These end mills are designed for efficient machining of Titanium alloys. Especially where machine power is limited the special geometry of WavCut™ end mills requires less horsepower than a standard rougher and allows higher metal removal rates.  The optimized geometry generates a unique hollow chip shape that enables optimum chip evacuation and eliminates nesting and recutting of chips. The result is longer tool life and more parts per tool.

By using these end mills, you will benefit from:

• No re-cutting of chips due to wave-design
• Capable of slotting with 6 flutes
• Lower power consumption than a standard rougher
• Excellent chip form and evacuation due to wave-design
• Excellent surface finish
• Roughing and semi finishing

Key features to these end mills:

• Ability to slot with 6 flutes
• Higher metal removal rate
• Lower power consumption
• Excellent chip form and evacuation due to special geometry
• No re-cutting of chips
• Smooth surface finish due to ground radial rake face
• Improved strength for heavier cuts due to corner radius (6-flute)
• 4-flute End Mills have a helix angle of 35°
• 6-flute End Mills have a helix angle of 28°
• Increased tool life
• Roughing and semi-finishing

Great news from the M1200 family, as this brand new product expansion offers tremendous additional value to our customers.

The M1200HF has all the strong features from M1200 and is the only HighFEED concept for face milling in the market with 12 effective cutting edges per insert.

The M1200HF premium platform is using standard M1200 inserts (all styles and geometries except Wiper inserts) which makes it really easy to upgrade existing applications to HighFEED strategies.

Max. axial depth of cut Ap1 = .08”

Max. feed rate fz = .1”

Target Application

First choice for face milling operations adressed with HighFeed cutting conditions – no pocketing/shoulder milling recommended

Material focus: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Aluminum, Titanium

Unsurpassed performance booster in HighFEED face milling of Titanium

First choice selection for long-reach face milling applications or light fixtures, due to less radial cutting force impact.
