Introduction

MOLDINO Co., Ltd., based in Sumida, Tokyo, is excited to announce that it will expand its Alpha Polish Mill V series, particularly the "ASPV" and "ASPVmini" models, by adding new sizes and inserts. The launch is scheduled for March 26, 2026.

Background of the Product

Since its release in 2008, the ASPV has received high praise for its role in the finishing of mold structures. This innovative product combines high-precision cutting inserts with a multi-edge design. This unique setup aims to resolve the dilemma in finishing processes by balancing accuracy and efficiency. In 2020, MOLDINO introduced the "ASPVmini," a small-diameter, multi-edge end mill that aims to replace solid end mills, further enhancing the product lineup.

MOLDINO has been steadily developing limited editions for the European market with the "ASPV High Precision Body" while fulfilling special requests from individual users. Their findings indicate that such specialized products could also find success in the global market. Thus, MOLDINO has decided to expand its lineup significantly by incorporating additional sizes and inserts that have been requested by customers.

Product Features and Benefits

The new offerings will provide several compelling benefits:

• - High-Efficiency Finishing: The combination of high-precision inserts with multi-edge holders allows for highly efficient finishing processes.
• - Versatile Compatibility: The products can handle contour wall and bottom finishing as well as vertical milling. This proves especially effective in deep wall machining scenarios.
• - Variety of Options: The lineup includes small-diameter tools that target solid end mill replacements and large-diameter tools suitable for larger workpieces, alongside sizes effective in avoiding interference.
• - Precision Engineering: The high-precision body (ASPV) features close-to-nominal diameter accuracy, significantly reducing residual cutting material.
• - Diverse Material Processing: A variety of insert shapes and materials enables high-quality processing for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
