Efficient and versatile solid end mills
CoroMill® Dura is a range of high-end versatile solid end mills. The concept offers true flexibility in roughing to finishing operations in multiple materials. The key to success lies in the unique WhisperKut™ technology. Unequal helix angles effectively break up harmful harmonics, making smooth and stable milling easier than ever before.
Versatile and cost efficient
CoroMill® Dura features robust and light-cutting geometries designed to work in many applications. Coupled with the strong and highly wear-resistant grade GC1730 and our advanced WhisperKut™ technology, you have a durable tool for all your milling tasks, helping you get more out of your machine while cutting down on tool use and costs. With a wide assortment of end mill product variants, there's always one that fits your needs.
Easy to use, easy to choose
The four-flute end mill 1K334 is the first-choice solution for plug-and-play functionality. If your application is more specific, such as a key slot or dynamic milling, choosing the correct end mill is just as easy.
WhisperKut™ technology
WhisperKut™ is our advanced unequal helix concept. The flutes are oriented at different helix angles and unequally spaced from each other on every level of the cutting edge. This innovative design breaks up harmful harmonics typically produced by conventional end mills, ensuring exceptional stability and eliminating vibrations. The result? Silent, safe and efficient machining.
Sustainability
CoroMill® Dura end mills, featuring innovative WhisperKut™ technology, ensure vibration-free machining even with long overhangs up to 4×D. This capability allows for the use of smaller diameter tools, fully utilizing the cutting edge with a large APMX. As a result, you achieve highly efficient carbide use and a sustainable reduction in cutting material.
