Blisk
The aircraft blisk is a vital aircraft engine component, consisting of a rotor disk and multiple blades. Machined using difficult-to-cut titanium (Ti) or nickel-based alloys (Ni-alloys), blisk components pose challenges due to the solid-piece design and sophisticated shape. DIAEDGE Cutting Tools' high-quality drilling and milling cutters meet the requirements to efficiently and reliably machine these complex blisks.

Drilling
DSA
DIAEDGE DSA carbide drill is the best choice when it comes to machining hard-to-cut heat-resistant titanium (Ti) and Inconel® materials for aircraft blisk components. DSA drill offers unique TRI-cooling Technology® with specific hole geometry to increase the coolant flow rate and reduce cutting heat. The DSA's straight-cutting edge for a single-pass honing design ensures stable chip formations to optimize machining cycle time and production.
Cutting Range:
- 130-150 SFM
- 0.002-0.012 FPR
Milling
VQT6URR Barrel Endmills
The DIAEDGE VQT6UR Barrel Endmill is specially designed to cut in high-feed conditions in heat-resistant and titanium (Ti) alloy materials to produce a better surface finish for aircraft engine blades. Due to the DIAEDGE VQT6UR large radius and small cusp height, this unique feature gives a quicker and more precise finish product.
Cutting Range:
- 262 SFM
- .009 FPT
iMX
The DIAEDGE iMX Series is a perfect solution to cut down on cycle time when machining aircraft engine blisk components by combining the advantages of both solid carbide and indexable endmills. The iMX provides a variety of exchangeable heads to meet different milling applications while offering coolant solution and grades that extend tool life, improves efficiencies with high accuracy and rigidity when machining difficult-to-cut materials for aerospace component manufacturing.
