At Ueno Vietnam, we distribute metalworking tools — including TCT Saw Blades, face mills, centerless blades — from the Japanese industrial cutting tool manufacturer “Kanefusa” for the Vietnamese market.

In this article, we introduce the features and advantages of "Nova E'z Disc", a newly developed fine pitched teeth face mill (milling cutter) with interchangeable head for aluminum machining.

Kanefusa Corporation, a Leading Manufacturer of Industrial Machine Blades, Offers a Diverse Lineup of Over 300 Products, Including Woodworking Saw Blades

Founded in 1896, Kanefusa is a leading manufacturer of cutting tools for machineswith over 100 years of history in Japan. Its extensive product lineup includes 300 types and 30,000 variations of cutting tools, such as TCT Saw blades (circular saws) for woodworking, which hold a significant market share. The company continuously develops products using advanced technology, earning a strong reputation for reliability within the industry. Kanefusa operates production facilities in Japan, China, Indonesia, and Vietnam (Hanoi), providing a wide range of tools—from standard products to customized solutions—to meet the diverse needs of various industries.

In 2016, Kanefusa Vietnam Co., Ltd. was established in Ho Chi Minh City as a sales subsidiary for the Vietnamese market. Vietnam has a strong demand for cutting tools used in wood, metal, and paper processing. At Ueno Vietnam, we collaborate with Kanefusa Vietnam to enhance the promotion of aluminum machining face mills, specifically targeting customers in the automotive parts manufacturing sector.

Featuring a Proprietary Disc Design with a Fine Pitched Teeth Configuration for High-Efficiency Milling

Released in 2022, the 'Nova E'z Disc' for aluminum machining is a face mill cutter that delivers high-efficiency milling through Kanefusa's proprietary brazing technology. Its fine pitched teeth configuration of diamond tips enables exceptional milling performance. Designed specifically for planar machining of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, this innovative tool ensures both high efficiency and precision in machining operations.

Significantly Improve Work Efficiency with a Simple Cutting-Edge Replacement! Ensure Stable Cutting Quality

A key feature of the 'Nova E'z Disc' is its interchangeable-head design, which allows for the simultaneous replacement of all cutting edges by simply removing the circular saw-shaped disc. This eliminates the need for edge alignment adjustments, significantly reducing setup time. Additionally, replacing the entire disc removes the need for cutting-edge height adjustments, ensuring stable processing quality regardless of the operator's skill level.

▲ Compared to insert-type tools, the setup time can be reduced by 90% or more

Additionally, the tool body is reusable, and by replacing only the disc, it provides a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. The fine pitched teeth with the use of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) minimizes cutting resistance, ensuring a high-quality, burr-free machining surface that enhances cutting speeds. Thanks to its high durability, it maintains stable performance even during long-term use. While the initial cost is higher compared to conventional face mills, it proves to be a cost-effective choice in the medium to long term.

Its Lightweight Aluminum Body Ensures Compatibility with Small Machining Centers

Made of lightweight aluminum, the body is compatible with the spindles of small machining centers. This allows for smooth and flexible integration into production lines within factories. The product lineup consists of three types, with customization options available to meet customer needs. We provide tailored recommendations to ensure the optimal tool for your requirements.
