IMCO’s new “smart” coding system saves you time locating part numbers. Just use the specifics of the tool you need, “plug” them into the coding system, and you’re there!
Building the Code
Insert the numbers in the segments as indicated Below. If a certain segment doesn’t apply (neck dimension, nonstandard length or special shank), just skip it. Separate the segments with hyphens.
EZ•ID Code Example
How EZ-ID Works
Each EZ-ID part number actually describes the tool itself. It starts with general information (type of tool and tool “family”) and gets more specific as you go.
-
Enter the model number. You'll find the tool's model number in the chart provided below. (For example, the model number for a POW-R-FEED® [M90] with 4 variable flutes would be M904. In the example below, the model number for the new enDUROÆ 5-flute is M525.)
-
Enter the tool diameter (always to 3 decimal places). Include the leading zero for diameters less than 1"
-
Enter the length of cut (LOC - always to 3 decimal places). Include the leading zero for diameters less than 1"
-
Enter the length below shank (LBS) or reach (always to 3 decimal places). Include the leading zero for diameters less than 1î. Indicate that this is a neck dimension by placing an N before the number. (If the tool has no neck, you can skip this segment altogether.)
-
Enter the length of cut (LOC - Enter the end/corner type or size, always to three decimal places for a corner radius. For any other end/corner type, just indicate the type: SQ = square end, BN = ball nose, CC= corner chamfer
-
Enter the length of cut (LOC - If the overall length you need is not the standard length for the combination of tool diameter, LOC and LBS then enter the overall length (OAL) here. Indicate that this is the overall length by placing an L before the number. If you do not specify the overall length, we will assume it is standard length.
-
Enter the code for the type of shank you need. (W = Weldon flat, WN = whistle notch, P = plain) If you do not specify a shank style, we will assume it is a plain shank.
