Tools for Titanium & Cobalt Chrome
2 Flute Ball Nose End Mills
Designed for precision and stability, Gladiator tools are versatile enough for roughing, semi-finishing, finishing, and super-finishing operations. These two-flute ball-nose tools deliver smooth, consistent performance across all dental metals, particularly titanium and cobalt chrome. Their ability to maintain high speeds while preserving tool life makes them invaluable in demanding CAM strategies.
Micro & Mini Solid Carbide Drills
Developed specifically for the medical and dental industries, Lynx drills offer exceptional breakage resistance and high hole precision. These small-diameter drills come with advanced PVD coatings tailored to enhance durability and performance in dental metallic materials. Whether drilling counterbored, countersunk, or tapered holes, Lynx delivers precision and productivity in a single operation.
3 Flute High-Feed End Mills
The Spectre range features a unique grind geometry that supports high-feed rates with shallow depth-of-cut strategies. This allows for aggressive material removal while maintaining tool stability and precision. Made from micrograin carbide, Spectre is ideal for deep-feature roughing in titanium and other hard dental alloys—delivering outstanding ROI through faster cycle times and reduced spindle wear.
2 Flute Rib-Type Ball Nose End Mills
Engineered for deep cavities and intricate geometries, Ribcutter tools are the go-to solution when small-diameter tools with long reaches are needed. Made from solid carbide and enhanced with CXPlus coating, these tools offer superior performance in both roughing and finishing strategies. Ideal for machining titanium and cobalt chrome, Ribcutter ensures extended tool life and reduced tool breakage in even the most demanding dental restorations.
Tools for Complex Geometries & Deep Features
High-Performance Taper End Mills
Typhoon tools are designed for aggressive material removal, especially in the roughing of angled features. Often overlooked in CAM software libraries, these taper tools offer faster performance than conventional 3D ball-nose strategies. Available in ball nose or square-end profiles, Typhoons can be manufactured with virtually any size or taper—perfect for everything from wax to cobalt chrome and titanium.
High-Technology Lollipop Cutters
For the most complex restorative components with undercuts and overhangs, Orbis lollipop cutters set new standards. With a cutting edge covering 270 degrees and high-speed 5-axis compatibility, these tools are designed to mill difficult-to-reach features with precision and efficiency. Orbis is the perfect solution for challenging geometries that require superior surface finish and strategic tool access.
Versatile Multi-Flute End Mills
Hypermill tools come with 2, 3, 4, or more flutes and are available in square-end or corner-radius configurations. Their long flute lengths and tapered shanks enhance rigidity, making them ideal for cavity milling, 3D 5-axis strategies, and helical milling operations. Custom grind geometries and coatings ensure optimal performance based on your chosen CAM strategy and dental material.
Tool Design Customisation: Infinite Possibilities
With Quickgrind’s Infinite Possibilities® programme, dental labs are no longer confined to standard tool catalogues. You can configure every detail of your tool, from shank to cutting edge, to suit your application precisely:
