KYOCERA SGS Precision Tools, Inc., formerly known as the SGS Tool Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KYOCERA Corporation, was originally founded in 1951 and is an ISO-certified leader of round solid carbide cutting tool technology for the aerospace, metalworking, and automotive industries. Today, it is best known for its solid carbide high performance end mills and drills. However, it is also well known for its stainless steel medical tools and technically advanced, proprietary PVD coatings. KYOCERA SGS Precision Tools, with manufacturing sites in the United States and United Kingdom, aggressively services its customers through a global network of Sales Representatives, Industrial Distributors, and Agents that sell into more than 60 countries.
Titanium is widely used in many manufacturing industries, but it is not without its challenges. It is very chemically reactive and, therefore, tends to weld to the cutting tool during machining, thus leading to chipping and premature tool failure. Its low thermal conductivity increases the temperature at the tool/workpiece interface, which affects the tool life adversely. With these challenges in mind, the KYOCERA SGS Precision Tools technical team designed the Z-Carb High Performance Rougher.
Titanium is a very popular material that is widely used in Aerospace, Automobile and Biomedical part manufacturing industries, but it is not without its challenges. Titanium is very chemically reactive and therefore, tends to weld to the cutting tool during machining, thus leading to chipping and premature tool failure.

With these challenges in mind, the KSPT technical team designed the Z-Carb High Performance Rougher. Watch the short video above to see it in action.
The Z-Carb HPR Five Flute Roughing End Mills are ideal for achieving high metal removal rates (MRR) and a finish of 80 RMS or better on most materials. The specialized five flute design is engineered for increased productivity over three and four flute end mills. The variable indexing geometry allows for improved chatter suppression over symmetrical designs.
KYOCERA SGS Precision Tools (KSPT) actively maintains a serious commitment to research and development. Our reputation for quality and ever increasing Value at the Spindle® pushes us to continually innovate and discover the next best thing in cutting tool technology. The Z-Carb HPR is a product of this passionate pursuit. Field testing demonstrates the KSPT design achieved higher material removal rates while meeting or exceeding expected tool life. The specialized geometry allows for aggressive feed rates to increase productivity and enables exceptional finishes.
