Weldon Tool removes changes from a Raised Land to Blended Land as a Standard.

Weldon Tool has announced a running change to the appearance of all Weldon Premium carbide endmills regarding raised land transition area from the back of the clearance face to the flute.

According to Tim Scheib, Weldon Tool Brand Manager, "The current step (raised land) from the back of the cutting tool is a holdover feature from HSS endmill design."

"By eliminating this feature, we reduce the potential for stress to concentrate at hard transitions."

Weldon Tool changes from a Step Transition (raised Land) to a smooth transition (blended land) End mill edge.

This design change also provides an appearance more consistent with most all tungsten carbide endmills.

Weldon further states: "This is only a functional appearance change. Both internal and customer field tests have confirmed that users will still experience the same outstanding performance of Weldon Premium carbide endmills as they have in the past."
