UOP, Bending die, Skin3

Reduced Number of Tools and Improved Surface Finish

Some portions of the workpiece are heat-treated to HRC55, while other areas remain at HRC30. Previously, different end mills were used depending on the hardness of each area.
Thanks to its highly durable cutting edges, the UOP-TopClass eight-flute end mill enables machining of both HRC55 and HRC30 sections with a single tool, while also improving surface finish.
