In recent years, there is an increasing demand for mould applications for small products such as mobile phones, digital cameras and electronic connectors, and the requirement for machining accuracy of these products is also steadily increasing. However, with conventional tools, the cutting edge is liable to fracturing, making it difficult to achieve excellent machining accuracy. The VF-2XL uses a cutting edge geometry that improves fracturing resistance. It also uses Impact Miracle coating with high heat and wear resistance thus making it suitable for finishing machining of hardened steel small moulds and offers higher efficiency and quality machining. Additionally, varied neck lengths are available making it suitable for the machining of deep and complex parts.
