Short Shanks Mean High Productivity
in New GOmill™ End Mills from Kennametal

(LATROBE, PA) – With a short-shank style resulting in extremely stable operation and unequal flute spacing that reduces vibration and chatter, the new GOmill™ line of end mills from Kennametal mean increased metal-removing productivity and excellent surface finishes for a wide range of metalworking applications.

“This is a completely new end mill concept from Kennametal, and represents the latest thinking in tool design, advanced coatings, and increased performance for shops of all sizes,” says Oliver Sax, senior global product manager for solid end mills at Kennametal. “Anyone requiring higher metal-removal rates at economical costs will benefit from giving GOmill end mills a try.”

GoMill products are being introduced in three versions: a three-flute ball nose, a four-flute with chamfer, and a three-flute sharp. All feature a short shank for increased stability and rigidity, unequal flute spacing for reduced chatter and vibration, and advanced AlTiN coating for long tool life.

“In short-location work or even advanced multi-axis mill-turn applications, GoMill end mills can cut faster and last longer than many existing end mills at a price-performance ratio that’s often better than a regrind,” Sax adds.
