Anti-vibration end mills
Solid carbide end mills with a variable helix and a variable pitch. Uneven spacing between the cutting edges breaks up the regular vibration pattern that causes chatter, which helps with longer reach, thin walls and less rigid set-ups. Standard sizes cover Φ1–12 mm; most orders are made to the customer's specification.
Two series
KF series
General-purpose geometry, including stainless steel.
Finishing versions are black coated, roughing versions bronze coated.

Specification reads cutting diameter – flute length – shank diameter – overall length, in millimetres.
Made to your specification
Most anti-vibration end mills are made to order. We can match the diameter, length of cut, reach, corner form and coating of the end mill you already use — send its specification, a drawing or a sample, with the workpiece material and hardness.
Typical uses
- Side milling and slotting where the tool overhang is long
- Thin-walled parts that ring during cutting
- Stainless steel and other materials prone to chatter
- Finishing passes where surface marks from vibration are a problem
