Gain the ability to rough and finish in a single process with Niagara Cutter’s
MBZ215 and MZN410R for hard milling applications. Instead of traditional methods
that require multiple setups, including in some cases Electrical Discharge Machining
(EDM), hard milling helps reduce lead times and increase productivity, by eliminating
the multiple setups and difficult polishing processes.

With the increase in Mold and Die manufacturing in the North American market, there
is a growing need for a full metric range of MBZ215 and MZN410R/510R products from
Niagara Cutter™. Because of this, we have expanded the range to include ball nose end mills
from 0.5 mm up to 12 mm in diameter and high feed end mills from 2 mm up to 12 mm in
diameter. Both of these product families are effective in hardened steels from 48-65 HRc,
cast irons and nickel-based superalloys. With these recent additions, the product family’s
versatility has now reached new heights in the high speed hard milling sector.

6 TIPS
Hard milling can be a highly effective strategy for machining
complex 2D and 3D part features such as mold cavities, gates,
heat-sinks and even die pockets in tool steel above 48 HRc.
However, hard milling requires the utmost attention to detail
to achieve maximum performance, tool life and tight tolerances
HARD MILLING down to .0001”.

1. MAINTAINING A CONSTANT CHIP LOAD/FEED RATE

One of the most overlooked concepts when it comes to hard milling is maintaining a constant chip load/feed rate.
Complex surfaces and cutter paths used in the mold and die industry cause machine tools to rapidly fluctuate feed rates
resulting in a drastic loss of tool life. Feed rates will always fluctuate unless machining in a straight line. When machining
complex surfaces, one must take into consideration that machine tools do not reduce rpm in conjunction with feed rate
reductions. A good rule of thumb is if the programmed feed rates cannot be maintained for 80% of the time, the average
feed rates need to be reduced. Subsequently, feed rates and rpm need to be reduced in the program. For example:
Programmed rpm is 30,000 and feed rate is 150 ipm. However, the average maintained feed rate is only 75 ipm.
Thus, the rpm needs to be reduced to 15,000. This reduction in rpm can increase the tool life upwards of 50% while
having a negligible impact on cycle time.

2. DON’T LEAVE TOO MUCH STOCK FOR FINISHING

When machining tool steels above 48 HRc, leaving too much finish stock will
not only reduce output but also wreak havoc on surface finishes and tool life.
A general guideline for finish stock allowance is 1%-2% of the finish cutter
diameter. Most cutting tool manufacturers base their finishing cutting data on
1%-2% of the tooling diameter engagement. Leaving more than this will result
in lost productivity. For example: When using a 1/2” diameter tool it is best to
not leave more than 0.005”- 0.010” of finish stock.

3. LEAVE CONSISTENT STOCK ON ALL SURFACES FOR MAXIMUM TOOL LIFE

Leaving too much finish stock is bad for tool life and surface finishes.
Leaving inconsistent stock for finishing is also bad, if not worse. After a
complex surface has been roughed, it is important to run a “rest-rough”
and even a “semi-finish” tool path, to ensure a consistent finish stock FORGING DIE
on all surfaces. Take this example into consideration: A complex 3D surface
has just been roughed out with a 12 mm ball nose end mill with an intended
finish cutter diameter of 8 mm. A safe practice would be to “rest-rough” with a 10 mm ball nose end mill. Then, “semi-finish”
with an 8 mm ball nose ensuring there is only 0.003”- 0.006” of stock on all surfaces. Finally, finish mill with a new 8 mm ball
nose end mill to achieve a consistent surface finish as well as extend the life of the finish tool. This strategy may even lend itself
to using the finish ball nose end mill as a “semi-finish” tool once the finish tool life has been met.

4. NOT ALL HARDENED TOOL STEELS ARE CREATED EQUAL

Some common hardened tools steels in the Mold and Die industry present unique challenges. Take for example D2 tool steel
that can be heat treated to 60-62 HRc. Because of the added Chromium content, this tool steel is not only hard, but also tough.
Furthermore, it machines similar to tool steel that is 62-65 HRc. 420 stainless steel is also very common in the mold industry
because it is wear resistant and can be polished to a mirror finish. Although this material is typically heat treated to 48-52 HRc,
it still retains its sticky stainless steel properties. This material is prone to causing Built Up Edge (BUE) making running the
proper surface feet per minute crucial. Utilizing air/oil mist will also help reduce BUE when machining this material.

5. USE RIGID HOLDERS

To achieve maximum tool life, high-precision holders are crucial to hard milling. Run-out needs to be kept to less than 0.0004”.
This type of precision can be achieved by most shrink fit holders, milling chucks, high precision collet chucks and select
manufactures end mill holders. A precise holder also ensures the accuracy of the process, whereas a less secure holder may
cause unpredictable tool life and produce surfaces that are out of tolerance.

6. FOLLOW RECOMMENDED CUTTING PARAMETERS

Through meticulous research and years of first-hand experience, we have developed specific recommended cutting parameters.
Cutting data is optimized per the tool’s design, specifications and for specific material groups. These specifications should
always be used as a starting point. Modifications can be made depending on the application.

MILLING CALCULATIONS

Surface speed, surface footage and surface area are directly related. Cutting speed is the peripheral speed (velocity) at the
outside edge of an endmill (surface speed). The faster the spindle speed the higher the SFM. SFM is the distance in feet that
the cutting edge travels in one minute. IPM and IPT is the rate at which the cutting tool is advanced into the workpiece.
Feed per tooth is the thickness of chip that each cutting edge removes in one pass.

f = Feed per revolution (in/rev)

vf = Feed speed (in/min)

CALCULATION OF ap VS. OVERHANG LENGTH:
If the overhang length (XS) is longer than 4 x Dc and Dw = Working diameter
cylindrical shanks are used, it is important to adopt another
depth of cut (ap) value than that indicated in the table.
Use the following formula to calculate the new ap value

MILLING CALCULATIONS

HELICAL INTERPOLATION
The table below shows the minimum hole diameter that should be made per the diameter of the end mill being used.

RECOMMENDED DIAMETER OF HOLE FOR HELICAL INTERPOLATION RAMPING

DIAMETER OF END MILL DC DIAMETER OF HOLE

1/32 - 3/32 1.4 x Dc
1/8 - 1/4 1.3 x Dc
3/8 - 1/2 1.2 x Dc
5/8 - 1 1/4 1.15 x Dc

TROCHOIDAL METHOD
The figure below shows a method often called the trochoidal method for milling slots.

RECOMMENDED WIDTH OF SLOT

DIAMETER OF END MILL DC SLOT WIDTH

1/32 - 3/32 1.8 x Dc
1/8 - 1/4 1.6 x Dc
3/8 - 1/2 1.4 x Dc
5/8 - 1 1/4 1.2 x Dc

CORNER CONTACT
Generate component corners to optimize tool life.

• Use maximum diameter of cutting tool, but have maximum difference between the
radius of the tool and the radius in the corner of the component.
• In a corner, the contact arc of the tool increases rapidly according to the difference
in radius between the tool and the component. This causes more force on the tool,
resulting in deflection and increased temperature in the corner, reducing tool life.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Corner
END MILL DIAMETER MINIMUM CORNER RADIUS Radius

1/64 - 3/32 Dc / 2 x 1.4

1/8 - 1/4 Dc / 2 x 1.3
3/8 - 1/2 Dc / 2 x 1.2
5/8 - 1 1/4 Dc / 2 x 1.15

Ex: ¼ tool, minimum corner radius to be generated is 0.1625”.
