Face Mills
Cutter bodies are machined from through-hardened alloy steel with differential pitch to suppress resonance on long overhangs. Coolant is directed at each pocket rather than flooded across the face.
- Steel
- Stainless steel
- Cast iron
- Non-ferrous
- Superalloys & titanium
Why this range
- Ø40 – 250 mm, coarse through fine pitch
- Differential pitch for stable long-reach cuts
- Pocket-directed coolant channels as standard
