Z-Carb Solid Carbide End Mills

Z-Carb Solid Carbide End Mills
™
Patented Unequal Helix Geometry
As a technological leader, SGS Tool Company is committed to providing you with
leading-edge, high performance products. We address the complexities of HighSpeed Machining with particular focus upon Aerospace, Automotive, Mold & Die
and Production Machining Applications.
A quiet giant, the patented Z-CARB 4-Flute End Mill has revolutionized the way the world
mills ferrous materials with its unequal helix geometry design. Z-CARB has been tested to
improve productivity up to 30 times over conventional 4-fllute end mills and has achieved a
100% increase in radial width of cut.
Z-CARB End Mills are coated with our specially
developed Ti-NAMITE-A (AlTiN) PVD Process
Tool Coating for faster cutting speeds,
longer tool life and reduction of edge wear.
Choose Z-CARB, the original and only end
mill with patented unequal helix geometry.

Revolutionizes Milling
Design Benefits
The Z-CARB end mill maximizes stock removal and improves productivity in most milling
operations. Chatter is the most common problem associated with aggressive milling. The SGS
Z-CARB design features reduce chatter, increase tool life and optimize performance. Z-CARB
tools are coated with SGS Ti-NAMITE-A® coating that resists heat generated in aggressive
cutting operations.
Chatter Reduction By Design
The unique patented design of the SGS Z-CARB decreases chatter, which improves work piece
finish. Less tuning (manually adjusting speed & feed rates) increases operator confidence and
productivity. Increases in axial depth of cut to 275% have been realized without chatter. SGS
Z-CARB can achieve a 100% increase in radial width of cut over standard geometry end mills.
Patented Unequal Helix Geometry
Chatter-Resistant Design:
• Improves Surface Finish
Optimum Material Removal:
• Increases Cutting Depth
• Increases Feed Rates
Increased Tool Life:
• Ti-NAMITE-A®(AlTiN Coated)
• Corner Radius
• Special Gash Break Out Grind
• Eccentric Relief
Minimum Tool Deflection:
• Reduces Harmful Machine Vibration
• Improves Dimensional Control
Material Applications Include:
• Low Carbon Steels
• Tool Steels
• Cast Iron
• Stainless Steels
• Titanium/High Temp Alloys

Z-Carb-HTA End Mills
™
Engineered Geometry for High Temperature Alloys
Based on the original Z-CARB, the new Z-CARB-HTA (High Temperature Alloy) features
geometric enhancements that make it uniquely suited for difficult-to-machine materials.
Design Benefits
The Z-CARB-HTA end mill maximizes stock removal and improves productivity in most
milling operations. Chatter is the most common problem associated with aggressive milling.
The SGS Z-CARB-HTA design features reduce chatter, increase tool life and optimize
performance. Z-CARB-HTA tools are coated with SGS Ti-NAMITE-A® coating that resists
heat generated in aggressive cutting operations. Z-CARB-HTA combines the patented antichatter design of the original Z-CARB end mill with specific geometry enhancements for
exceptional performance in high temperature alloys.
Chatter Reduction Design
The unique patented design of the SGS Z-CARB-HTA decreases chatter ,which improves
workpiece finish. Less tuning (manually adjusting speed and feed rates) increases operator
confidence and productivity. Increases in axial depth of cut to 275% have been realized
without chatter. SGS Z-CARB-HTA can achieve a 100% increase in radial width of cut over
standard geometry end mills.
Features and Benefits

Pressurized air with oil extends tool life in materials <40 HRc
Use dry air when roughing materials harder than 40 HRc
Unique coating eliminates flood coolant requirements
Climb milling is preferred
Attention to programming details, tool holders, TIR, balance, etc. contribute
to additional tool life
Ramping at 10 to 30 degrees is the preferred entry method. Use slotting
speeds with 25-50 percent slotting feed. Avoid plunging.

Z-Carb with JetStream
™
Patented Coolant Technology
SGS Tool Company is proud to introduce the newest
member of the Z-CARB family of products: Z-CARB End
Mills with JetStream patented coolant technology. With
the Channeled Z-CARB End Mill, coolant is delivered with
targeted precision via 4 connected in-line coolant channels.
The uniquely positioned coolant channels are engineered
and patented to maximize coolant flow and delivery to the
shear zone. The JetStream Z-CARB End Mill was designed to
take maximum advantage of the benefits that a properly delivered coolant produces in a
demanding machining application.
Enjoy genuine Z-CARB performance enhanced by the benefits of exact coolant delivery in
your slotting, pocketing and hard-to-access applications.
Heat is one of the most damaging side effects of the machining process. Heat limits
operating parameters, dictates tool life, affects chip control and determines workpiece
quality. Coolant aids in the effort to better control these problems, but only if it is applied
with accuracy and consistency. When working with carbide tools, intermittent cooling can
create thermal stress and lead to premature tool failure.
This is particularly true in slotting, pocketing and hard-to-access applications where targeted
coolant application with external coolant lines becomes increasingly difficult. SGS Tool
Company has taken patented Z-CARB technology, which already permits more aggressive
machining through chatter suppression, and added a new, patented coolant channel design
to take advantage of the benefits of precise coolant delivery.
Designed with the strength of a solid carbide Z-CARB, the high performance JetStream end
mill delivers coolant to the cutting zone with effective pressure, volume and accuracy.
Coolant channels in solid carbide end mills are not a new concept, but the patented design
on the JetStream Z-CARB is. Strategically located channels interconnect at the shank end of
the tool to offer unparalleled results as only the Z-CARB can.
Proper application of coolant allows the end user to reduce friction, machine load, material
adhesion and chip congestion through proper lubrication, while simultaneously reducing
heat, improving part quality, controlling chip formation and increasing operating parameters
through proper cooling. By delivering the appropriate pressure and volume of coolant where it
is needed, these benefits, combined with increased chip evacuation and targeted application
result in improved tool life and profitability.

JetStream Z-Carb Solid Carbide End Mills
Maximize your tool life, profitability and part
quality with the targeted lubricating, cooling
and chip evacuation properties delivered by the
JetStream Z-Carb End Mill.
Benefits
• More consistent machining temperatures
• Reduced damage from harmful heat created during machining
• Helps to reduce the development of built up edge (BUE)
• The ability to improve cutting speeds
• Improved tool life
• Improved chip control
• Decreased damage from recutting chips
• Reduced cutting loads and forces
• Helps to improve workpiece accuracy
• Helps to improve workpiece surface finish
• Helps to avoid coolant waste
Engineered delivery channels direct the coolant to
millpoint and workpiece.
The JetStream Z-Carb End Mill should be used with a minimum
coolant pressure of 250 PSI.
