Frequently Asked Questions

What is the key manufacturing advantage of Roughing End Mills (Corncob Knuckle Profiles)?

Dramatically reduces spindle motor draw and deflection, allowing heavy axial depths of cut ($a_p$) in steel and titanium blocks.

How does UCAN ROBOT verify toolholder and cutter balance?

All rotating tool assemblies are pre-balanced on dynamic balancing machines to ISO 1940 G2.5 at 25,000 RPM to protect spindle bearings.
