Solid carbide end mills are valued for both their high precision and long tool life. They are therefore often the first choice in manufacturing.

Rising Prices for Solid Carbide Tools:
Are Indexable Insert Milling Cutters a Viable Alternative?
However, given the sharp rise in solid carbide prices, it is also worth considering Pokolm’s indexable insert cutters for mass production. With the ball nose milling cutter Uniworx® and Uniworx® PLUS, the corner radius and high-feed milling cutter – we offer two alternatives that can efficiently replace solid carbide cutters in many applications.
Uniworx® and Uniworx® PLUS are attractive alternatives,
- because the tool systems with solid carbide cylindrical shanks achieve dimensions and overhang lengths similar to or identical to those of many solid carbide tools,
- because indexable inserts for different materials are available for both milling systems,
- because the investment in the holder is a one-time cost. Afterward, only the cost-effective inserts need to be replaced. This becomes cost-effective as early as the third tool change.
- because the screw and shrink-fit connection of the Duoplug® connection system offers optimal stability and precision and comes even closer to a monolithic tool.
