The KOR 5 is Kennametal’s latest innovation in high-velocity Aluminum roughing. This five-flute end mill table results in 66 percent more feed rates as compared to generally used three-flute tools. This product is, in a way, redefining productivity for aircraft manufacturers and their suppliers. In aerospace machining, maximum productivity is obtained using this end mill.
The design of KOR 5 is to remove large volumes of metal and move away from the work zone in minimum time. Its tapered core, variable pitch design, and 35 degrees helix almost completely eliminate chatter and tool deflection. The coolant flushes chips away while minimizing heat. It has a unique chip splitter pattern to break off long chips, eliminate re-cutting, and ensure high surface qualities.
Slotting, deep pocketing, dynamic milling—whatever your aluminum application, KOR 5 can do it faster

The potential of this end mill is to become the new standard for machines using the CAD/CAM tool paths. As compared to a two-flute or a three-flute end mill, it has more active contact points, owing to which chatter is avoided on the heaviest cuts also and there is enhanced stability. This end mill is applied with low radial engagement and high depth of cut, which results in more removal of higher metal as compared with traditional methods.
Safe-Lock shanks are provided with this tool to assure predictable, no pull-out performance at maximum feed rates.
