n

The S-Carb Advanced Productivity Finisher (APF) is a four-flute unique variable geometry finishing end mill. The APF outperforms the traditional waterline method of thin-wall machining by over 60 times, with straighter and thinner walls. The APF is the authority in aerospace aluminum finishing and has set the global standard for part quality, cost, and tool life. The KSPT Advanced Productivity Aluminum program has redefined what is possible in aluminum machining with the APF and its sibling tool the APR.

Features

Flutes

4 flute end mill icon
  • 4-Flute unique variable geometry reduces vibration and allows the finishing of thin walls in one pass.
  • Polished flutes maximize chip evacuation and provide an enhanced finish.

Through Coolant Options

End MIll through coolant Icon
  • Central hole delivers coolant effectively to the cutting zone.
  • Enhances chip removal when pocketing or slotting.
  • Select fractional and metric diameters in stock.

Design

Positive rake end mill icon
  • The S-Carb APF is engineered with a positive rake.
  • Designed for single-axial pass semi-finishing and finishing.
  • Two levels of chatter suppression: variable helix and indexing.
  • Ultra high-productivity finisher for Aluminum alloys, specifically for aircraft components.

Coatings

Ti-Namite-B logo
  • This ceramic-based coating ensures a smooth surface and a low affinity to cold welding or edge build-up, which makes it optimal for aluminum and copper applications. It has high toughness and high hardness.
