MaxiMill HFC
CERATIZIT develops new high-feed
face milling cutter
MaxiMill HFC is synonymous with rapid milling
CERATIZIT has developed a new tooling system for
special face milling operations. The MaxiMill HFC (High
Feed Cutting) system is synonymous with maximum feed
and chip removal rates.
High-feed cutting tools are applied where maximum
chip removal rates must be achieved in a minimum of
time. A typical application is rough milling of flat faces,
for instance in the field of mould and die construction.
MaxiMill HFC guarantees minimum vibration thanks to
a light cutting geometry with positive rake angles and
high chip removal rates. The inserts for this system have
a special chip groove specifically developed for this
application and are offered with the innovative
HyperCoat coatings. CTP1235 (for steel), CTP2235 (for
stainless steel) and CTC3215 (for cast iron). The combination
of the new HFC milling system and the latest CERATIZIT
grades guarantee maximum performance in terms
of tool life, surface quality and reduced tendency for
vibration.
The optimised tool coating ‘hard & tough’, which is both
wear resistant (hard) and corrosion resistant (tough),
guarantees long tool life.
Flexibility concerning the coolant plays an important role
when high-feed milling. Every tool therefore possesses a
special coolant hole design which is particularly adapted
for minimum quantity lubrication.
The main application range of the new MaxiMill HFC
system is face milling with maximum feed (up to 3.0 mm
per tooth), plunging for the production of deep pockets
and with maximum chip removal rates (more than
1,500 ccm/minute).
