How do you get the most out of a GP Cutter?

General purpose milling cutters must strike a balance between quality, performance, long tool life, economy, and versatility to effectively handle the demanding range of machining tasks. The MB45 does not compromise on these qualities. These next-generation cutters are durable, ensuring reliability whether used for general machining applications or for more unique solutions. The MB45 series delivers the low cutting force benefits of positive inserts and the fracture resistance of negative inserts, ensuring an exceptional surface finish and also makes it a great series for smaller machining centers. The series is designed to cater to a broad spectrum of machining applications giving customers a cost-effective solution for a wider range of possibilities.


KYOCERA's Latest Coating Technology

The MB45 series is enhanced by KYOCERA’s next-generation PR18 Series PVD coating, a cutting-edge technology that significantly extends tool life. These grades incorporate proprietary MEGACOAT NANO EX coating technology, achieving, in some cases, double the resistance and durability. By using a unique double lamination technique with special nano multi-layers for abrasion, wear, and heat resistance, this coating surpasses conventional grades, delivering superior performance and extending the lifespan of the tools.

INTUITIVE DESIGN WITH QUALITY IN MIND

Featuring 8-edge inserts and a unique back-side coolant channel directed at the cutting edge to ensuring excellent chip evacuation, enhanced tool life, and superior surface finishes.
