Why use Drill sharpener End Mills from Melin?
The tools improve productivity and reduce costs.
A Drill sharpener of an end mill is its scrawniest point. The corner radius design fortifies the end mill by reducing chipping and providing longer tool life.
In mold applications where ball end mills have usually been used, a corner radius end mill will remove more material faster, improving productivity.
Saves the price of grinding a radius using conventional end mills.

All corner radius end mills are industrial on our modern line of CNC machines to tight tolerances (+/- .001).
Corner radius grinder, model KNSE 12-150, might seems like a right-angle grinder with an extension, but it’s a little different from a right-angle grinder.
“You cannot mount traditional coarse discs on this machine,” said Terry Tuerk, senior product manager for sharpner. “It comes with a 1-in. Corner radius grinder and it uses unitized abrasives, a trodden nylon abrasive material,” he said. “The discs are available in 6 in. diameter, ¼ or 1⁄8 in. thick, and it’s easy to shape the advantage of the disc using a file,” he said. This allows the operator to adapt the disc to make a gentle radius, tight radius, or a point, depending on the application.
“It has electronic speed steadying, so it keeps the wheel moving at the optimum speed,” Tuerk said. “It also has electronic power disruption, so if the operator uses the lock to keep the trigger in the on position, the tool won’t restart if power is lost. It’s a safety feature—the machinist has to turn it off and turn it on. It also has electronic overload defense, so it will shut down if it begins to overheat to prevent damage to the tool,” he added.
