Combine this with trochoidal milling where 25% + width of cut (ae) and depth of cuts (ap) of 2-3 xD are possible, this tool provides high MRR and excellent swarf evacuation resulting in very high tool life. When provided with our chip breaker flute form, full flute engagement of 3.5-4xD can be achieved resulting in high productivity and greatly reduced cycle times.
