3500 Fury End Mill Cuts Time-Per-Part 78% and Saves Over $86,000
Run against a competitor's TiN-coated high-performance end mill, Fullerton's 3500 Fury turned an 18-minute-per-part job into a 4-minute one — a 78% reduction in time per part, 86% lower cost per part, and more than $86,000 in total savings.
At a Glance
The Challenge
In high-performance milling, the customer's existing process leaned on a competitor's TiN-coated end mill that took 18 minutes to complete each part. That cycle time capped throughput and drove up the cost of every part produced.
The Solution
Fullerton's 3500 Series Fury is a high-performance end mill built for high cutting forces and tough materials — reducing vibration and holding a superior finish in stainless steels, super alloys, and titanium.
Head-to-head, the Fury completed the same part in 4 minutes instead of 18 — cutting 14 minutes from every cycle and 86% from the cost of each part.
Eighteen minutes became four.
The Results
The 3500 Fury set a new standard for the customer's milling operation:
- 78% less time per part: An 18-minute cycle dropped to 4 minutes.
- 86% lower cost per part: Faster machining translated directly into a lower per-part cost.
- $86,000 in total savings: The Fury didn't just beat the competitor — it reset what efficient milling looked like for this shop.
When Does a High-Performance End Mill Make Sense?
A 3500 Fury may be worth evaluating when:
- Cycle times per part are longer than you'd like
- You're milling stainless steels, super alloys, or titanium
- High cutting forces are causing vibration or inconsistent finishes
- Tool longevity is limiting throughput
