DISCOVER THE NEXT GENERATION Z-CARB
The Z-Carb HPR Five Flute Roughing End Mills are ideal
for achieving high material removal rates (MRR) and superior
finishes. 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. The series is offered
in a variety of length, square, and corner radius options and
is coated with Ti-NAMITE-M® and Ti-NAMITE-A® for superior
performance in difficult to machine materials like Titanium
and Stainless Steel.

RESULTS
The overall findings of this study indicate that KSPT’s Z-Carb HPR outperformed the competition in every statisti-
cal category. The HPR was able to be run more than 35% faster than the competition, while maintaining a feed
rate that was double the competition. Given those increased efficiencies, the HPR was able to produce 8 times as
many parts with 8 times less new tools. With the limited number of new tools necessary to complete the job, the
tool change cost savings was over $12,000. Additionally, the smaller number of new tools lead to a total new tool
cost more than $171,000 less than the competition. The HPR outperformed the competition so impressively that
the total machining cost savings for the job was $11,411 and the total cost savings was $195,248.91!

Note:
• Bhn (Brinell)   HRc (Rockwell C)
• rpm = Vc x 3.82 / DC
• ipm = Fz x 5 x rpm
• ramp at 5 degrees or less, using slotting speed and feed rates (do not plunge)
• reduce speed and feed for materials harder than listed
• reduce feed and Ae when finish milling (.02 x DC maximum)
• refer to the SGS Tool Wizard® for complete technical information (www.kyocera-sgstool.com)

Note:
• Bhn (Brinell)   HRc (Rockwell C)
• rpm = (Vc x 1000) / (DC x 3.14)
• mm/min = Fz x 5 x rpm
• ramp at 5 degrees or less, using slotting speed and feed rates (do not plunge)
• reduce speed and feed for materials harder than listed
• reduce feed and Ae when finish milling (.02 x DC maximum)
