Nachi GSX MILL VL Long Shank



Manufacturer: Nachi-fujikoshi corp
Model: GSX MILL VL
Outline
Perfect for vertical wall milling up to 5D height
Applications are expanded with VL’s longer shank that suppresses chattering.
High-speed milling is realized for raw materials. titanium alloy. and heat-resistant alloy.
GSX II coating with superior heat. wear and adhesion resistance to achieve long tool life.
Additional release of the radius model.
For titanium alloy and SUS and for steels
There are two types. for steels and for titanium alloy and SUS that support almost any work materials.
GSX II coating
With the multi-layer of heat resistance coating and hard coating. GSX MILL VL supports cutting of hardened materials. With high wear resistance and anti-adhesion properties. stable chip removal is realized for a wide range of work materials.
Additional release of the radius model
The radius model was added to the steel type and the titanium alloy and SUS type.
