Higher speeds
MAPAL – the specialist for high performance tools
Newly developed tools from MAPAL, for example the MEGA-Speed-Drill or the FeedPlus
reamers, are able to reduce the machining times by up to 70 %. On the MEGA-Speed-Drill
the new arrangement of the guiding chamfers provides the crucial increase in cutting
speed. On the other hand, the innovative design of the FeedPlus reamer makes it possible
to accommodate significantly more blades than on conventional reamers, and as a result
enormously increase the feed rate. A large number of PCD blades are also the key for high
speeds and short machining times on the HP-FaceMill face milling cutter.
Together with the cutting edge geometries optimised for low cutting forces, the total
energy requirement for a machine tool can be reduced by up to 15 %.

1. MEGA-Speed-Drill for drilling in an
axle housing (GG30)
Due to the considerably reduced load
on the guiding chamfers, the machining
speed can be significantly increased. As
a result 32 sec. can be saved on the 13
bores per part compared to a conventional
carbide drill. The MEGA- Speed-Drill
also brought a 17 % longer tool life.

2. FeedPlus reamer for highest feed rates
18 teeth instead of the conventional
eight – that is how the FeedPlus reamer
realises such high feed rates. 66 % less
productive time is the result on machining
a bronze bush in a rocker arm.
3. HP-FaceMill provides energy saving
due to more PCD blades in a valve gear
casing (Al)
Due to the increased number of teeth,
the feed rate can be more than doubled,
for example during milling on valve gear
casings made of aluminium. Shortest
payback time ensured due to increase in
the productivity and energy efficiency.
