Company Overview

Minicut International is a Canadian company specialized in the manufacturing of high-precision cutting tools for the aerospace and metalworking industries. With an experienced team of dedicated engineers, technicians and tool makers, the Montreal based manufacturing operation is supported by a distribution network as well as warehousing centers.

While exporting 60% of its production, Minicut International enjoys sizeable business with aerospace contractors such as Boeing, Northrop, Pratt & Whitney, Bombardier, Bell Helicopter, GE, and Korea Aerospace, just to name a few. Minicut International is also present in Europe, Japan and Korea, however, the majority of its business stems from its broad industrial distribution network.

Much of the success obtained by Minicut International in this highly technological and most competitive field of activity is its constant commitment to research in manufacturing and product technology, resulting in the development of innovative high performance products. The Minicut roughing end mills and the Megamill indexable carbide milling cutters are Minicuts signature products and have been specifically developed for machining Aluminum, Titanium, Inconel and other exotic materials.

Founded in 1963, Minicut International utilizes advanced manufacturing techniques with state of the art equipment.

Technology Profile:

State of the art CNC 5 and 7 axes grinders with robots

Unique Applications:

The MEGAMILL INTERNATIONAL's newly patented indexable carbide milling cutter is truly the next generation in cutting tool technology. The MEGAMILL is the only indexable cutter today which incorporates a sinusoidal insert along a true positive helical arrangement. The MEGAMILL's high shear and free cutting geometry will tremendously increase your feeds and speeds while reducing horsepower requirements and eliminate cyclical vibrations. The MEGAMILL is available in long edge, shell mill and face mill type with insert grades and coatings for specific applications.

Major Clients:

Boeing - Lockheed Martin - Pratt&Whitney - Daewoo

Success Stories:

few years ago INTERNATIONAL developed, patented and introduced the 'MINICUT' roughing End Mill to the metalworking industry. Until that time the scope of development throughout the cutting tool industry had been basically concentrated towards different and somewhat better materials in order to obtain the higher levels of productivity. The 'MINICUT' however, presented a new chapter in cutting tool evolution with a revolutionary geometric concept applied to the cutting edge. In fact the 'MINICUT' End Mill embodies three very particular geometric concepts:

1- Variable radial rake angle with interrupted cut. 2- Undulated flute face. 3- Sinusoidal gullet and trailing faces.

When the cutting edge comes in contact with the workpiece, the angle of attack (or rake angle) being continuously different at each point of the cutting edge, creates a shearing force along the width of the chip formation while the interaction of this force with the interrupted rake face obliges the chip to uncouple and evacuate from the machining surface - therefore elimination of build up on the cutting edges and reduction in recutting of chips.

The effect and consequences of the sinusoidal gullet and trailing faces on the formation of chips are explained as follows: During chip formation, as the chip begins to curl within the gullet space this geometry provides less space in which to curl at the two extremities of the interrupted cutting edge compared to the central portion. The sinusoidal gullet in fact reaches its maximum amplitude at the middle of the interrupted cutting edge. This uneven curling space creates a springing effect on the chips and together with the shearing force produce the phenomenon of chip ejection from the work area as observed by the many users of 'MINICUT' End Mills.

It is this unique geometry which enables the 'MINICUT' to achieve better machining capabilities over other types of roughing and finishing high speed cutters used in the industry today.
