Whether you can make it to the EASTEC 2017 show or not you can still take advantage of this unique "Buy 'Em & Try 'Em" promotion from Destiny Tool!
Area 419 has been posting some great images and application information on their facebook page on how they are using our Destiny End mills. Here's some really excellent footage of the Raptor DVH in action!
Ripping on some 4140 today for a new rigid chamber reamer block. If you haven't tried Destiny Tool Raptor DVH end mills yet, you are missing out! I had to crank my feed up to 170% to get it where it wanted to be. 0.3" depth, 0.1" width, 80ipm or so.

If you've been following @DestinyTool on Instagram you already know that the #DestinyTool hashtag is very busy with over 1750 posts!
We've been reposting some video's and images that have cutting data for quite some time now to help you understand how other machine shops are running our tools. We've compiled some of them here in one post so you can click through the videos. We hope they put you in the holiday spirit! We've been asked to explain what exactly is a Double Variable Helix many many times. Basically, the helix angle of an individual flute changes from a low helix to a high helix and in some cases to a super high helix as you follow the helix line up and individual flute. In addition to that each flute has an incrementally different start which we define as a double variable helix or DVH. Below is some detail on one of the patents of the DVH. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Technical Field of the Invention In general, the present invention relates to machining of a workpiece, More particularly, the present invention relates to end-mill tools for milling a workpiece and a related method.  2. Background of the Invention
Rotary cutting end-mill tools are used for various machining operations on workpieces. Such machine operations are generically referred to as milling operations and include the forming of slots, keyways, pockets, and the like. Several considerations related to end-mill tool design include time for completing a machining operation, amount of material removed in a cut, quality of the cut, and wear on the tool itself during the milling operation. The various machining operations performed with an end-mill tool can be performed in a “roughing” mode (rough cutting) and a “finishing” mode (finishing cutting). During roughing, material is removed from a workpiece at a relatively high rate (e.g., depth of cut), but with a relatively rough surface finish. Finishing involves the removal of material from a workpiece at a relatively low rate, but with a relatively smooth surface finish. Generally, these two operations (roughing and finishing) are antithetical to one another, and require two operations with two different end-mills. End-mill tools are formed from materials such as tungsten carbide, high speed steel, ceramic, and other advanced materials and coatings and typically include a “shank” portion, a “body” portion and a “point”. The shank portion is located towards one end of the end-mill tool and is generally cylindrical (but may be tapered) for engagement by a spindle of a milling machine. In use, the milling machine rotatably drives the end-mill tool about its longitudinal axis. The body portion of the end-mill tool is located between the shank and the point. The point is formed at an opposite end of the tool from the shank portion, and typically includes one or more cutting edges. To manufacture an end-mill tool, a grinder is typically used to grind a flute face and a corresponding cutting edge on the body of the end-mill tool. The grind (grinding operation) typically starts from a position adjacent an end of the body portion and continues to a point at or near the interface of the body portion and the shank portion, commonly referred to as an “inception location”. The grind forms a desired helical flute face and/or helical cutting edge. Prior art end-mills typically have continuous helical flutes with continuous cutting edges helically extending from the inception location to the point (or vice-versa). The flutes function primarily for chip removal, in a manner similar to the helical flutes found on an ordinary drill bit.
