DESIGNED & MADE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

What if you could have the optimum tool, with the marginal cost increase more than covered by improved production throughput and efficiency? With Quickgrind, you can. Welcome to a world of Infinite Possibilities.^®

At Quickgrind we do not limit ourselves to standard ranges, and we do not limit you to tools we happen to have in stock and want to sell you. Instead, our mission is to provide you with solution-based tooling, to give you the right tool, for the right job, at the right price.

Eliminator barrel tools can be designed specifically for your application and are available in virtually any size, diameter, radius, neck relief, coating or reach. Through-coolant and other options are also available.

End the compromise of standard tooling. Contact our team today to discuss your applications, aims and requirements –there are no limits, only Infinite Possibilities.^®

Transforming

finishing strategies

Quickgrind’s Eliminator barrel tools are revolutionising finishing and semi-finishing strategies on a wide range of components, for motor racing and mould and die, aerospace to medical, turbine blades and blisks.

Innovating

for unlimited potential

Eliminator is an exciting range of barrel tools that takes the segment of a circle to form the radius of the flute, enabling improved step down strategies when compared to ballnose endmills and reducing cycle times by up to 90%.

Until now the conventional way to produce a required finish was to use a ballnose. This limits the step down, generally calculated as ap = 0.02 x D1. For example, a 10.00mm diameter ballnose can achieve an ap of 0.20mm.

Increasing the step down would normally require a much larger diameter cutter which would not be practical – the Eliminator barrel tool does not have such limitations. The contact area is much greater because the flute radius is adapted from the segment of a much larger circle. If you wanted to increase the step down from 0.2mm to 5.0mm you would need a 250mm diameter ballnose. However, by taking a segment of a 250mm diameter circle to form the flute of your tool, and applying this to any diameter tool, you can achieve a 5.00mm step down.

Available in conical, tangential and form F versions with geometries, number of flutes and dimensions to suit your individual applications,Eliminator significantly reduces finishing cycle times on deep pockets,shallow pockets with small radii, hard to reach faces, radial and tangential faces, gear cutting, and moulds which may normally require a ballnose. The full Eliminator range is available to you now, with custom-made tools on a short delivery.

Eliminator versus ballnose

Eliminator’s large radius of curvature (Rw) gives an increased contact area making it possible to realise larger step down distances without any significant impact on the theoretical scallop height.

The result is highly precise surfaces with brilliant characteristics that can minimise the amount of time spent polishing.

Finishing

in record time

Use of Quickgrind’s Eliminator barrel tools demands a suitable CAM solution that fully exploits the potential of their geometry. Combined with our QuickCamPro programming and machining strategies, your profitability and competitiveness will be transformed.

QuickCamPro promises performance enhancing strategies to suit the parts you make and the machines you use, initially via an on-site visit to help us better understand your requirements. The service offers the very latest cutting-edge carbide tools and by using hyperMILL^® MAXX Machining cycles, as well as those provided by other CAM providers, we can offer a very competitive and professional service by ensuring that we always use the most up-to-date machining tool paths. We are an application partner with Open Mind and work with many other CAM providers.

You may only require a section of code to aid your machining processes. In this case we will provide an NC program in the format of your choice – this can simply be inserted into your existing program either by adding it to the original or by use of a sub-program

Force-resistive submicrograin carbide

Quickgrind’s substrate offers the perfect mix of durability, hardness and performance. Precision shanks ensure high concentricity, ideal for toolholders, whilst the structure provides a durable cutting edge.

Your choice of coatings

Coatings are available for a wide range of materials and applications, for both wet and dry machining. The coatings’ outstanding adhesion delivers extended tool life and improves performance, with excellent reliability resulting from high mechanical and thermal resistance.

Adding value

to your tooling investment

Eliminator barrel tools are suitable for remanufacture. Our unique QuickEdge process can give you up to seven times extra usage out of your tooling, and with material costs continuing to increase you can’t afford to ignore the benefits of remanufacture.

● Tools controlled by size, number of reissues and remanufactures

● Reduced logistics costs

● Extremely attractive price and performance over the life of the tool

Remanufacture doesn’t mean compromising on quality. It has always been our policy to produce tools of such high quality that they can be used more than once. Which means that even after seven remanufactures you will continue to enjoy new tool performance.
