Standard Milling vs. High Feed Milling

Standard Milling: Classic, controlled, like your dad’s Oldsmobile. High Feed Milling: Fast, efficient, and just a little bit dangerous—like a CNC-literate James Bond. Shaken not stirred.

High Efficiency Milling

HEM is a modern machining strategy that uses advanced CAM software and tooling to maximize Material Removal Rates (MRR) while minimizing heat and tool wear.

Exploring Gorilla Mill Geometries

End mill geometry is crucial because it directly impacts tool performance, including cutting efficiency, tool life, surface finish, and chip evacuation, which are all essential for producing high-quality parts.

WTF Coating

A high-end coating solution that offers superior oxidation resistance, high thermal stability, exceptional wear resistance making it perfect for machining challenging materials.

Top 7 “No shit Sherlock” ways to reduce cycle time. Reducing cycle time on CNC machines is critical for improving productivity and reducing costs in manufacturing. Duh.

Gorilla Coatings

Choosing the right coating can be crucial for enhancing tool life. Especially in those tougher to machine materials. Gorilla Mill tools are amazing already. But having a seriously tough coating just adds to the badassery! Let’s go over a few of ’em shall we?

Regrinds

The vast majority of your tooling that Gorilla Mill or anyone else manufactures can be re-sharpened and recoated to “like new” condition on one of our state-of-the-art CNC tool and cutter grinders at a fraction of a new tool’s cost.

GM Edge Prep

Tool edge preparation is one of the four main factors in successful cutting tool manufacturing.
