Seco Tools introduced its latest innovation, the Stabilizer™ end mills, designed to deliver the lowest material removal costs for 2D machining applications such as slotting, pocketing, and side milling. These advanced tools are set to significantly benefit the machining industry by enhancing productivity, reducing tooling costs, and improving surface finish across a wide range of materials.
The Stabilizer series features unique flute geometries—with 4-flute versions having continuously varying asymmetrical flutes and 5-flute models featuring different helix and rake angles on each flute. This design eliminates chatter and harmonics, enabling stable high-speed and high-feed machining. According to Rob Mulders, Seco Global Product Manager, “The Stabilizer end mills deliver unmatched stability and cost efficiency in aggressive milling operations.”
A key innovation is the use of shaped grinding wheels to optimize flute shape for effective chip evacuation during high-performance machining. This results in better process security and supports more productive material removal strategies. The end mills are also coated with SIRON-A, a versatile, wear-resistant coating that extends tool life and enhances flexibility.
The 4-flute tools perform exceptionally in steels and cast iron, while the 5-flute variants are ideal for stainless steels, titanium, and superalloys. This versatility allows manufacturers to simplify tool selection and improve operational efficiency.
For the machining industry, Seco’s Stabilizer end mills offer a winning combination: maximum material removal, reduced downtime, and lower overall machining costs, making them an ideal choice for high-demand manufacturing environments.
