Eliminator is an exciting range of barrel tools that takes the segment of a circle to form the radius of the flute, enabling improved step down strategies when compared to ballnose endmills and reducing cycle times by up to 90%.

Until now the conventional way to produce a required finish was to use a ballnose. This limits the step down, generally calculated as ap = 0.02 x D1. For example, a 10.00mm diameter ballnose can achieve an ap of 0.20mm.

Increasing the step down would normally require a much larger diameter cutter which would not be practical – the Eliminator barrel tool does not have such limitations. The contact area is much greater because the flute radius is adapted from the segment of a much larger circle. If you wanted to increase the step down from 0.2mm to 5.0mm you would need a 250mm diameter ballnose. However, by taking a segment of a 250mm diameter circle to form the flute of your tool, and applying this to any diameter tool, you can achieve a 5.00mm step down.

Available in conical, tangential and form F versions with geometries, number of flutes and dimensions to suit your individual applications,Eliminator significantly reduces finishing cycle times on deep pockets,shallow pockets with small radii, hard to reach faces, radial and tangential faces, gear cutting, and moulds which may normally require a ballnose. The full Eliminator range is available to you now, with custom-made tools on a short delivery.
