Cost cutting and time saving tools for profile and
cavity milling in the auto, aircraft, die and mold
industries, and in general manufacturing.
Millstar tools are designed for conventional profile
machining, and for high speed and hard milling with
modern machine tools and methods. Tool holders and
inserts are available in inch and metric sizes. This issue of
the Millstar catalog also features special and new inserts. A
series of aggressively positive inserts for cutting aluminum
and non-ferrous materials, a Toroid bull nose series and a
new MBT SuperFinisher series.

• Special High Shear Aluminum Geometry
Millstar Profile Milling Tools represent the latest in profile
and contour milling technology, providing you with the
competitive edge of shorter machining and lead times, and
the competitive advantages of higher machining accuracy
and true contouring results.
Better surface finishes = Reduced finishing work
Run and feed faster = Reduced machining time
Increased tool life = Reduced tool changes and cost
Mill with accuracy & consistency = Reduced manual rework
Two-flute efficient, balanced milling action = Greatly
increased metal removal productivity
The Tool Holders
Millstar is proud to offer the largest selection of roughing and
finishing ball nose, back draft, flat bottom and toroid milling
cutters available from one source. Cylindrical and tapered
toolholders (to 15 inch length) include the longest reach
profiling tools available as standard catalog items. Tool
holders are inherently balanced for high spindle speeds.
Machine with confidence at the increased speeds and
velocities dictated by modern high velocity machining. Super
intelligent machine controls with high speed data transfer,
rapid advances in cutting edge materials and coating
technologies enable ever faster machining speeds and
increased productivity. Millstar tools are designed to keep pace.
The Millstar product line is manufactured in the USA under
ISO 9001 specifications, and all tools are fully traceable.
Nearly six decades of cutting tool design and manufacturing
for automotive, aerospace and many other industries, as well
as special design capabilities using 3-D CAD allow us
to respond quickly to requests for special designs.
The Inserts
• Millstar inserts are fully ground precision inserts for better
chip control, faster metal removal and higher surface
accuracies. They are far more accurate than pressed and
O.D. sharpened inserts. Millstar insert radius and seat are
accurate to +/- 0.00025" (+/- 0.0065 mm) of nominal radius
and cut exactly as programmed. This unparalleled accuracy
also eliminates redundant Z-axis pick ups and assures
accurate blending.
• Positive ground chipbreaker or strong negative
cutting edge designs guarantee outstanding
cutting performance in a wide variety of ferrous
and non-ferrous materials.
• A choice of state-of-the-art insert grades,
designs and tool coatings allow for optimum
speed and feed rates in wet and dry
machining. Reduced machining times by
25% to 60% are not uncommon.
• Economical one-piece inserts with two
cutting edges are cost-effective for contour
milling. True radius geometry is fully CNCground for higher machining accuracy and
greatly reduced manual finishing and
polishing time.
• Choose from side-cutting ball nose inserts with 180 degree
nose radius, and popular ball nose inserts with a cutting
edge covering 230 degrees for steep wall up-and-down
ramping, profiling, contour milling and blending,
and for a wider range of applications compared to
conventional ball nose tools.
• Select from a variety of flat bottom, back draft and toroid
inserts for steep or straight wall milling with long extensions
on hard to reach cores, cavities or fillets. Milling with
small radii prevents deflection and results in superior
finishes and contour accuracies. Available with or
without chipbreaker and coating in a variety of corner
radii and sizes.
Rock Solid Insert Clamping
Cutting insert clamping is highly accurate and rigid.
Unique V-pocket design gives a truly positive seat for
the insert and will not allow insert movement when
milling with a side thrust. “Sandwiched” insert clamping
with single locking screw is unsurpassed for rigidity.
The advanced design of Millstar inserts eliminates
heat-seizing of locking screws or insert movement due
to costly locating screws or pins of less advanced
design. Positive V-pocket seating eliminates mismatch
when changing to fresh inserts. It also eliminates the
need to program new length or diameter offsets.

Back Draft and Flat Bottom
inserts are used to best advantage
in applications where small corner
radii are required, for example
finishing of straight and steep side walls,
blending and finishing of small corner radii,
fillets and the like. Toroid Bull Nose Cutters
combine the advantages of popular round insert
toroidal “button cutters” and bull nose end mills
with the proven design of Millstar’s precision, single
strong insert with twin-cutting geometry. The result is
reduced machining time and enhanced accuracy and
surface finish.
{
The inserts, and particularly the patented toroidal inserts, are designed
to improve 3- and 5-axis milling of dies, molds and similar free-form
three-dimensional surfaces. The precision ground inserts are held in
Millstar’s proven rock-solid dovetail seat for superior surface finish and
machining accuracy. The insert designs avoid the area of zero cutting
speed at the tip of ball nose inserts for improved tool life.
The toroidal tools in particular have the advantage of cutting at larger
step-over or pitch while leaving no or smaller cusps; the tools also run
at faster cutting speeds and feed rates. The toroidal bull nose design
simplifies 3- and 5-axis programming, works on a variety of materials from
non-ferrous metal, carbon graphite and stainless steels to pre-hard and
fully hard mold and die materials.
VBD

NEW!
New HF (High Feed) Inserts
Millstar’s new HF insert is designed for High Speed and High Feed
machining. The HF is designed to run at high cutting speeds and feed rates
with shallow depth of cut. The NEW curved geometry allows
the chip to flow up and out of the cut quickly and
smoothly allowing for the use of heavy chip loads.
The geometry of the new HF insert generates cutting
forces upward, toward the spindle, which helps
eliminate vibration and deflection, allowing for very

DISCLAIMER
Today’s metalcutting operations are performed on high horsepower, high spindle speed CNC machines. These operations generate high temperatures, cutting forces and flying
chips. Today’s metalcutting tools can generally hold up under these conditions but they may also chip and fly apart. Adequate protection for workers is a must. All machine
guards and protective equipment should be in place at all times. Grinding carbide, ceramic and other modern materials can create dusts and mists that should be collected by
proper equipment.
Overexposure to dusts and mists can be a hazard to ones health. Dusts and mists can irritate existing skin and or pulmonary conditions. Adequate respiratory, eye protection
and ventilation should be used during grinding and workers should avoid prolonged contact with dusts and mists.
A safe environment must be provided as metalcutting is not just the holder and inserts. The machine, workpiece, clamping method cutting conditions all play a part in today's
metal cutting environment.

Millstar’s long solid carbide tool shank cutters provide the user with deep milling
solutions for up to ten times diameter in reach. MILLSTAR’s Carbide Tool Shanks
provide many user benefits:
• Increased stiffness – for more aggressive metal removal and long reach, deep milling.
• Large cutting insert choice – the variety of available cutting geometry, tool coatings, and
insert shapes and sizes assures best milling results at lowest machining cost per part.
• Minimized deflection – to machine closer to net shape and tight tolerance.
• Vibration reducing – for smoother surface finish, improved tool life,
longer spindle life.
• Minimized cutter run out – improved milling results in soft to fully hardened
(to 65 HRc) materials.
• Smaller shank to cutter diameter – several sizes have full-length side
clearance to machine straight walls.
• Safe high speed milling – highest tool stiffness and least deflection
when compared with steel and heavy metal tool shanks result in
process reliability and highest safety for operator and machine.
• Shank diameters (h6) – all tool shanks are heat shrink-fit tool
adapter compatible.

High Performance Milling from Heavy Roughing
to Fine Finishing.
Millstar face mills are equally useful on newer high velocity machines and older slower
equipment and will optimize milling performance of all your machine tools. The hardened tool
bodies can be run at aggressive spindle speed and feed rates, when used with Millstar’s precision
ground, strong and thick, round inserts with proven hard, high performance TLN tool coating.
The tools provide for precision finish results, minimal tool deflection and run-out. Excellent milling
results can be achieved in roughing, semi finishing and fine finishing in Z-level, profiling or raster
cuts, as well as in linear or circular interpolation milling or ramping.
The tools may be used with coolant, but we recommend dry, mist or MQL
(minimum quantity lubrication) milling with strong air blast when high speed or
hard machining steel, particularly in the higher hardness range
(> 45HRc / 425 HBN). Please refer to FAQs (frequently asked questions) about
milling on our website www.millstar.com.

Millstar’s new High Performance and ultra-precise solid carbide end mills were specifically
designed for High Speed, High Velocity and Hard Steel milling. Designed with specially selected
premium sub-micron carbide substrate, special tool geometry and proprietary heat-defying EXALON
tool coating, these tools are beating the best products the competition has to offer. They are made
in the United States, and are competitively priced. Please note just some of the benefits to users:
• Square nose tools Series EMS / EIS with sharp corner or square nose tools Series EIB / EMB with
corner radius, all with medium-high helix and strong cutting edges and tool body, work
extremely well in materials up to 65HRc as well as in softer materials.
• Ball nose tools Series BI / BM are designed with two flutes and special nose geometry for true
High Speed and Hard Material milling up to 68 HRc. Ball nose tools are the most aggressive tools
for these applications. We will be glad to share our proven approach to improving your
machining results.
• A new Toroid Series TOI / TOM with large corner radius and slight back taper is a Millstar
innovative addition. It is very useful in I.D. and O.D. Z-level and spiral milling at constant tool
pressure, pocket milling, and milling of pre-hard and hardened flat surfaces at higher speeds than
tools with smaller or sharp corner radii.
• Extended Reach ball nose tools Series BMNL and extended reach square nose tools Series EMR
are useful tools specifically designed for long reach milling of extrusion dies, deep cavities and
cores, deep rib milling and similar applications. The reduced flute length and
neck diameter assure constant cutting pressure and
minimal tool deflection.

Back Draft and Flat Bottom
inserts are used to best advantage
in applications where small corner
radii are required, for example
finishing of straight and steep side walls,
blending and finishing of small corner radii,
fillets and the like. Toroid Bull Nose Cutters
combine the advantages of popular round insert
toroidal “button cutters” and bull nose end mills
with the proven design of Millstar’s precision, single
strong insert with twin-cutting geometry. The result is
reduced machining time and enhanced accuracy
and surface finish.
The inserts, and particularly the patented toroidal inserts, are designed
to improve 3- and 5-axis milling of dies, molds and similar free-form threedimensional surfaces. The precision ground inserts are held in Millstar’s
proven rock-solid dovetail seat for superior surface finish and machining
accuracy. The insert designs avoid the area of zero cutting speed at the tip
of ball nose inserts for improved tool life.
The toroidal tools in particular have the advantage of cutting at larger
step-over or pitch while leaving no or smaller cusps; the tools also run at
faster cutting speeds and feed rates. The toroidal bull nose design
simplifies 3- and 5-axis programming, works on a variety of materials from
non-ferrous metal, carbon graphite and stainless steels to pre-hard and
fully hard mold and die materials.

New HF (High Feed) Inserts
Millstar’s new HF insert is designed for High Speed and High Feed
machining. The HF is designed to run at high cutting speeds and feed rates
with shallow depth of cut. The NEW curved geometry
allows the chip to flow up and out of the cut quickly
and smoothly allowing for the use of heavy chip loads.
The geometry of the new HF insert generates cutting
forces upward, toward the spindle, which helps
eliminate vibration and deflection, allowing for very

DISCLAIMER
Today’s metalcutting operations are performed on high horsepower, high spindle speed CNC machines. These operations generate high temperatures, cutting forces and flying
chips. Today’s metalcutting tools can generally hold up under these conditions but they may also chip and fly apart. Adequate protection for workers is a must. All machine
guards and protective equipment should be in place at all times. Grinding carbide, ceramic and other modern materials can create dusts and mists that should be collected by
proper equipment.
Overexposure to dusts and mists can be a hazard to ones health. Dusts and mists can irritate existing skin and or pulmonary conditions. Adequate respiratory, eye protection
and ventilation should be used during grinding and workers should avoid prolonged contact with dusts and mists.
A safe environment must be provided as metalcutting is not just the holder and inserts. The machine, workpiece, clamping method cutting conditions all play a part in today's
metal cutting environment.

Millstar’s long solid carbide tool shank cutters provide the user with deep milling
solutions for up to ten times diameter in reach. MILLSTAR’s Carbide Tool Shanks
provide many user benefits:
• Increased stiffness – for more aggressive metal removal and long reach, deep milling.
• Large cutting insert choice – the variety of available cutting geometry, tool coatings, and
insert shapes and sizes assures best milling results at lowest machining cost per part.
• Minimized deflection – to machine closer to net shape and tight tolerance.
• Vibration reducing – for smoother surface finish, improved tool life, longer
spindle life.
• Minimized cutter run out – improved milling results in soft to fully hardened
(to 65 HRc) materials.
• Smaller shank to cutter diameter – several sizes have full-length side clearance
to machine straight walls.
• Safe high speed milling – highest tool stiffness and least deflection when
compared with steel and heavy metal tool shanks result in process reliability
and highest safety for operator and machine.
• Shank diameters (h6) – all tool shanks are heat shrink-fit tool
adapter compatible.

High Performance Milling from Heavy Roughing
to Fine Finishing.
Millstar face mills are equally useful on newer high velocity machines and older slower
equipment and will optimize milling performance of all your machine tools. The hardened tool
bodies can be run at aggressive spindle speed and feed rates, when used with Millstar’s
precision ground, strong and thick, round inserts with proven hard, high performance
TLN tool coating.
The tools provide for precision finish results, minimal tool deflection and run-out. Excellent
milling results can be achieved in roughing, semi finishing and fine finishing in Z-level, profiling
or raster cuts, as well as in linear or circular interpolation milling or ramping.
The tools may be used with coolant, but we recommend dry, mist or MQL
(minimum quantity lubrication) milling with strong air blast when high speed or
hard machining steel, particularly in the higher hardness range (> 45HRc / 425
HBN). Please refer to FAQs (frequently asked questions) about milling on our
website www.millstar.com.

FS
Full service roughing and finishing design with precision
ground, sharp cutting edge. Very resistant to edge wear, cratering and
flank wear. Strong cutting edge and excellent chip control on heavy to light
chiploads. With TIN coating, this insert design is the general workhorse and the
economical choice with the widest application range. This insert with TCN or TLN
coating is usually the best choice for the toughest applications in light to
medium-heavy material removal. Refer to additional information under
“Coatings” below and the Millstar application guidelines.
Consult with us on any special needs or applications. We can
tailor grades, geometry and special coatings to optimize your
machining results.
Coatings
NA
Non-coated grade. The lowest cost choice.
May be used at normal speeds, or lower speeds on
older machines, for all purpose milling. May be resharpened
or altered.
ALTiN-EXALON
(TLN)
Titanium aluminum nitride
advanced PVD coating. A special,
improved ALTiN coating
approaching surface hardness of CBN on a tough substrate.
Recommended for tough and hard metal machining applications.
When high cutting temperatures are encountered the coating acts as
a heat barrier, protecting the cutting edge. This allows for aggressive,
high speed and dry milling so often encountered in today’s die and
mold machining. Use on tool, die and higher alloy steels, especially at
hardness over 40 HRc. Also appropriate for all stainless steels (300,
400 and PH series), nickel alloys, titanium, nodular and gray cast iron.
Also useful in machining carbon graphite.
XRN
coating is a multi-layer hybrid coating of
AlTiCrN. This new coating has very good heat
resistance and also a low friction co-efficient. The XRN
coating is designed for use in HSM of un-heat treated softer
materials such as Titanium, Inconel, Stainless Steels and
other gummy materials that require the use of liquid coolant.
TCN
Titanium carbo-nitride PVD multilayer
coating. Higher hardness and toughness than
TIN. Choose on heavy cuts or high feeds and speeds,
preferably with coolant. Excellent crater and wear resistance.
Useful on abrasive and gummy materials (cast iron, brass,
aluminum alloys) and on stainless steels and highly alloyed
materials, including nickel and chrome based alloys.
DMD
Diamond coating. Custom coating for cutting nonferrous, non-metallic and very abrasive materials at
highly elevated speeds. Use on copper, bronze, brass, aluminum-silicon
alloys, carbon graphite, solid and fiber-reinforced plastics, ceramics
and composite materials.
Custom tool coatings for specific applications are available on request.

Choose suitable feed and speed from
recommendations on page 21. These values
must be adjusted (increased), as only part of
the spherical cutter is used and the effective
cutting diameter (Dw) is smaller than the cutter
diameter (D).

FEED
1. Step-over line milling at axial depth of
cut less than half the cutter diameter
Choose suitable feed and speed from
recommendations on page 21. These values do
not need to be adjusted, as the working
diameter (Dw) is equal to the cutter diameter
(D). Climb mill whenever possible.
When milling with small axial width of cut (ae)
feed per tooth values are very high. To avoid tool
breakage, it is important to reduce the tool feed
when reaching the corner of a cavity, as the
engagement and the amount of material removed
increases dramatically.
The recommendations below are suggested parameters for use with Millstar Profile Milling Tools.
Start at a higher speed and lower feed value to avoid initial tool failure. Then adjust speed down and feed rate upward to achieve best metal removal rate
and tool life. Speed and feed rates should be adjusted downward to compensate for poor machine and set-up conditions (loose spindles, machine ways and
feedscrews), long tool reach, smaller insert diameter or full insert engagement. When ball nose inserts are used at a depth of cut less than the full insert
radius, the working diameter (Dw = effective cutting diameter) will be less than the insert diameter. Consult tables A & B on page 25 to calculate speed and
feed based on the working diameter used.

Calculation Example:
Operation: To mill P20 die steel at 300 BHN with a 1" dia. coated Millstar ball nose insert cutter at a depth of cut of .100"
Step 1 - Find speed range for die steel at 300 HB under column “cutting speed” (360-700 SFM) in above recommendations and choose an above average
starting speed as a starting value = 550 SFM. Choose a feedrate in inches per tooth (fz) at the lower end of corresponding feed range shown
(.003-.008 fz) = .004 fz as starting value.
Step 2 - Determine the actual tool diameter engaged (working dia. Dw). If the depth of cut (DOC) is less than the full insert radius (as in our example), go
to Table A or C (following page) to find working diameter Dw.
Formula: SFM x 3.82 = 550 x 3.82 = 3501 RPM
The working diameter for a 1" insert at .100" DOC is .600" Dw.
Dw
.600
Calculate RPM on basis of Dw and SFM selected:
Step 3 - If the depth of cut is less than the full insert radius (as in our example), the chipload (fz) is reduced. Use the feedrate multipliers on Table B
(following page) to increase feedrate to compensate: Insert dia. 1" at DOC .100" = 1.67. Compensated feed rate: .004" x 1.67 = .00668 fz.
Result - Starting feed and speed values for above operation: 3500 RPM and .0067 fz (rounded off). Feedrate IPM (inches per minute) calculation: 3500 RPM
x .0067 fz x 2 Flutes = 46.9 IPM. All Millstar inserts are 2 Flute effective for balanced cutting and optimized feed.
Note: Follow all safety precautions. Do not run tools at high speeds unless special high velocity guarding and safety precautions are followed, and
toolholder with tool and insert are properly balanced. Contact factory for further information.
Safety Note: Tools can chip or fracture in use, always wear safety glasses, use machine guards and wear protective clothing.
