Rougher End Mills for Titanium
New and Improved Version of Widia WavCut II™ Rougher for Titanium Now Available. WavCut II™ End Mills new design provides higher wave increments enabling improved performance in slotting applications with 6-flutes, and freer chip evacuation to facilitate higher feed rates.
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

Widia Premium HighFEED Face Mill
To further strengthen the most successful and competitive face milling platform today – M1200 – the new M1200HF delivers outstanding performance in HighFEED face milling applications and becomes a real productivity boosting package made available in Chicago from Widia and General Cutting Tools aka Cutting Tools Chicago.
Great news from the M1200 family, as this brand new product expansion offers tremendous additional value to our customers.
Widia logo
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.
