KYOCERA Releases New 45 Degree Milling Series Engineered for Durability and Versatility

KYOCERA introduces the MB45 Milling Series setting a new standard for general purpose milling featuring economical 8-edge inserts and an innovative new helical body design giving customers a more durable and versatile cutter with better finish capabilities over conventional mills. 

General-purpose milling cutters must strike a balance between quality, performance, long tool life, economy, and versatility to effectively handle a wide range of machining tasks. The MB45 does not compromise on any of these features. These next-generation cutters are ultra-durable, ensuring reliability when used in general machining applications or for more unique solutions. The MB45 series delivers the low cutting force benefits of positive inserts and the fracture resistance of negative inserts, ensuring an exceptional surface finish, while making it an ideal option for smaller machining centers. The series is designed to cater to a broad spectrum of machining applications giving customers a cost-effective solution for a wider range of possibilities. 

The MB45 series is enhanced by KYOCERA’s new PR18 Series PVD coating, a cutting-edge technology that significantly extends tool life. These grades incorporate proprietary MEGACOAT NANO EX coating technology, achieving, in some cases, double the resistance and durability. By using a unique double lamination technique with special nano multi-layers for abrasion, wear, and heat resistance, this coating surpasses conventional grades, delivering superior performance and extending the lifespan of the tools.
