For six years, WEZ has been our most versatile shoulder milling cutter, and the series continues to grow.

With the addition of PCD inserts and new ACS grades for difficult-to-cut stainless steels and exotic materials, WEZ now covers even more of your work.

From general purpose to high precision milling, it delivers strong performance and long tool life in shops of any size.

A worn edge should not cost you a whole drill.

SMD Replaceable Tip Drills bring your tooling spend down three ways:
• Replace the tip, not the drill. The hardened steel body stays in service.
• One body, multiple diameters. Bodies come in 1.5X, 3X, 5X, 8X and 12X diameter, in metric and inch sizes from 0.4688 in. to 1.6535 in.
• Drill tips are capable of being reground.

The tip is where the performance lives.

5 styles cover steel, super alloys, stainless steels, cast irons, non ferrous materials and aluminum alloys.

MFS tip alone handles spot facing, inclined and cylindrical surfaces, and interrupted drilling with its 180° point angle, while RS THINNING keeps a thick web for rigidity and reduces burrs at the hole exit.
