User Reviews

DavidUS
Five-star review! Severe tool wear had been a bottleneck for us in machining 718 alloy turbine blades for aircraft. Big Brother Tools' solution, tailored to our specific needs, completely changed our situation. Its exceptional stability during ultra-high temperature machining helped us solve this problem.
Michel (Aerospace Test Engineer)France
Suitable for use on the French Ariane spacecraft. Big Brother knives have a blade hardness of 56-58 HRC, allowing them to cut high-hardness materials. The handles are chemically resistant and will not deform even after prolonged contact with aerospace fuel. Excellent quality, highly recommended.
Frank (Aerospace Engineer)UK
For deep cavity milling of aircraft aluminum alloy wing spars, we used a variable helix solid carbide end mill, which has excellent chip removal and vibration resistance. Machining time was reduced by 25% without affecting surface quality.

FAQ

What is the typical delivery cycle of your factory?

Standard products: 5–7 days; non-standard products customized according to drawings: 7–15 days.

Standard: Cutting speed recommended at 40-70 m/min,High-efficiency cycloidal milling: Recommended cutting speed is 100 - 160 m/min

Process: Storage, Cleaning, Testing, Grinding, Cooling

Under proper operation, the tool will not easily break, but the following points should be noted: appropriate cutting parameters, correct clamping system, and avoid overload machining.
