ADVANCED PATENTED DESIGN
DELIVERS ADVANCED PRODUCTIVITY
With conventional end mills, the cutting teeth entering and exiting the material creates a natural
rhythm that results in damaging harmonics. Harmonics produce a frequency that resonates
through the entire tool, resulting in one of the most damaging forms of cutter wear known as
chatter. Chatter degrades the quality of your finish. It also creates tool pressure which has a neg-
ative effect on tool life. If you use conventional long reach tools, your chatter problem is further
compounded by deflection, which limits your maximum speeds and cutting depths. Until now,
your only choice was to adjust your operating parameters to account for the limitations of your
conventional end mill.
WITH ITS PATENTED, ONE-OF-A-KIND GEOMETRY, THE Z-CARB-AP
OFFERS THREE STAGES OF CHATTER SUPPRESSION, RESULTING IN
THE QUIETEST, MOST STABLE MILLING EXPERIENCE AVAILABLE.
THREE STAGES OF
CHATTER SUPPRESSION

1
The rake angle is the main factor that determines the size and shape of the
chip, as well as the pressure and temperature of the cutting zone. By incor-
porating the SGS Patented Variable Rake Geometry, the Z-Carb-AP can alter
and control the cutting dynamic like no other tool available, which takes
chatter suppression to a whole new level of advanced productivity.
The patented unequal helix design aids in eliminating the damaging harmon-
ics that occur during typical machining by changing the angle at which each
cutting edge enters and exits the material during the milling process.
Unequal flute spacing helps to disrupt the rhythmic pattern created by the
cutting edge of typical end mills, which helps to suppress the development
of damaging harmonics.

Quotes and figures
from end users using
Z-Carb AP tools in
their shops and
getting real results,
with real savings.
The Z-Carb AP tool saved
an end user almost 74%,
taking a cost per part
from $1,073 to $281!
They’ve exceeded so well…
I’m getting insane results here.
THEY HAVEN’T FAILED ME.
I know you needed results for the
quarter, but I can’t give you exact
data until this thing dies.
It isnt getting any better…
with straight endmilling.
That is why I recommend you all around town.
TEST DATA PROVES:
Ti-NAMITE-X reduces edge wear by up to:
» 58% in Inconel
» 64% in Tool Steel
» 66% in Alloy Steel
• Z-Carb-AP reduces chatter by up to 68%
compared to conventional end mills
• Z-Carb-AP experiences up to 70% less tool
wear compared to conventional end mills
• Z-Carb-AP produces up to 321% smoother
surface finish than conventional end mills
AlTiN Ti-NAMITE-X Ti-NAMITE-X Advantages over AlTiN
Hardness (HV) 2549 HV 3059 HV Increased hardness offers better resistance to abrasion
wear and improved coating strength.
Adhesion 70 N 130 N Good adhesion is critical to optimum performance; the
level of measured adhesion has been proven to have a
direct relationship to overall tool life. With a denser more
uniform coating structure Ti-NAMITE-X improves the ability
for the coating to perform at higher temperatures due
to an increased oxidation stability.
Young’s 460 GPa 368 Gpa Increased toughness in the coating improves the
Modulus of performance in applications that encounter a high
Elasticity level of mechanical stress such as milling.
