Advantages

Unique Flute Design

Effective chip evacuation at high feed rates with lower cutting forces

Ultimate Chip Flow

Polished flutes help with excellent chip flow and surface finish

Versatile Performance

Cut deeper and run at both faster and slower cutting speeds & feeds

Ramp & Plunge

Great for vertical ramping up to 20° and step over plunging applications

Features

3 Flute Centre Match

All 3 flutes come to the centre, designed for high spindle speeds

Sharp Cylindrical Land

Razor sharp performance with reduced vibration & chatter

Multipurpose Machining

From side cuts, to rough cuts to aggressive ramping

Optional Coating

DLC coating excels in hard aluminium and high speeds

Built to Handle High Speed
Cutting Without Buildup

Excels in Ultra High-Speed, High HP Applications Up to 35,000 RPM
Rigid Design for Excellent Ramping
