CAMARILLO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Surfware, Inc., developer of SURFCAM CAD/CAM systems and Pittsfield,
Massachusetts-based Data Flute CNC, announced today that new SSI-5 Data Flute
tools, which complement TrueMill`s patented cutter path, will be demonstrated at
the Mazak booth # 2111 at EASTEC, 2009. 

Dramatically reduced cycle times will be demonstrated for Titanium 6AL4V,
Aluminum 6061 and Steel 1018. For example, Titanium 6AL4V will be machining at a
rate of 115 IPM with ½" dia. endmill at a 1.000" depth of cut, achieving peak
material removal rates of 4.0 in3/min.

"The live demos at EASTEC will visibly demonstrate TrueMill`s ability to greatly
increase material removal rates and extend tool life on a variety of metals,"
says Stephen A. Diehl, President and CEO of Surfware, Inc. "We are very pleased
that Data Flute is offering a line of tools that further extends TrueMill`s
industry-changing capabilities." 

According to Cliff Flynn, Director of Research and New Product Development for
Data Flute, "The SSI series five-flute variable tool will be used for the
titanium cutting demos. The SSI-5 series has patented geometry which enables us
to not only cut the titanium faster but also to helix in to the material as
well. We are confident that TrueMill and our tools are a powerful combination
for productivity." 

"The key to TrueMill`s high productivity is its ability to cut fast and deep,"
adds Diehl. "What might take a traditional toolpath four passes to get down to
full depth will only take a single pass with TrueMill. High quality tools like
the SSI-5 complement TrueMill in achieving the highest levels of productivity." 

We encourage people to check out the exciting Data Flute/TrueMill demos at the
Mazak booth and also, for more information, visit our SURFCAM/DM Solutions booth
#5918 at EASTEC.
