MZG Three-Sided Edge and Side Groove Milling System
MZG Tool Machine Company, I am proud to present a detailed introduction to our comprehensive portfolio of Three-Sided Edge and Side Groove Milling Cutters. This tooling system is the pinnacle of efficiency for all grooving, slotting, and side-milling applications. The system's design is masterfully simple yet incredibly effective: multiple indexable inserts are secured around the periphery of a robust cutter body, allowing for the simultaneous machining of three faces in a single pass. This method guarantees superior parallelism, precise slot widths, and excellent surface finishes. Our portfolio is engineered into distinct platforms—large-diameter arbor-mounted discs for heavy-duty slotting, versatile shank-type cutters for T-slotting, and high-rigidity integrated cutters for the most demanding power applications.
High-Efficiency & Precision Slotting Performance
SMP and DMP series feature stable arbor-mounted or bayonet-type disc design providing rigid platform for multi-tooth cutting, allowing high feed rates and excellent surface finishes on groove bottom and side walls for production environments requiring accurate slots in large components.
Dedicated T-Slot Roughing & Finishing Performance
Complete T-slot solution stratified for different needs: HTS series with CCMT/MPHT inserts and TMR series with RPMT round inserts for economical roughing; SMT series with dedicated TGF/TT43L grooving inserts for precision finishing with superior accuracy on final T-slot dimensions.
Ultimate Power & High-Rigidity Performance
890 Integrated High Power T Cutter delivers uncompromising performance with high-rigidity integral structure eliminating potential weak points, offering unwavering stability and vibration dampening for heavy cutting forces, ideal for deep T-slots and aggressive side milling.
Product Performance
The performance of our Three-Sided Milling system is best understood through its application-specific strengths, which demonstrate a deep commitment to solving distinct manufacturing challenges with precision and power.
High-Efficiency & Precision Slotting Performance: For creating wide, open slots and grooves with high accuracy and efficiency, our SMP and DMP series are the premier choice. Their performance is rooted in the stable arbor-mounted or bayonet-type disc design, which provides a rigid platform for multi-tooth cutting. This allows for high feed rates and produces excellent surface finishes on the bottom and side walls of the groove.
Dedicated T-Slot Roughing & Finishing Performance: Machining T-slots requires a specialized tool, and our portfolio provides a complete solution. The HTS series, utilizing standard CCMT/MPHT inserts, and the TMR series, using robust RPMT round inserts, deliver outstanding performance for roughing out T-slots. The SMT series is a finishing specialist using dedicated TGF/TT43L grooving inserts for superior accuracy on final T-slot dimensions.
Ultimate Power & High-Rigidity Performance: For the most demanding T-slot and side milling operations, our 890 Integrated High Power T Cutter delivers uncompromising performance. Its key advantage is the high-rigidity integral structure. Unlike cutters assembled from multiple parts, this single-piece design eliminates potential weak points, offering unwavering stability and vibration dampening for heavy cutting forces.

Technical Parameters
Cutter Body Formats & Insert Systems
System available in Arbor-Mounted Disc Cutters (SMP, DMP series, 80-200mm diameter), Integral Shank T-Slot Cutters (HTS, TMR, ATS, SMT, 14-50mm diameter), and Integrated High-Power Cutters (890 Series, 96-115mm diameter). Supports wide array of inserts: Square (XSEQ, SPMG, MPHT), Rhombic (CCMT), Round (RCMT/RPMT), Grooving (TGF32L/TT43L), and Specialty (N331.1A) inserts.
Secure Clamping & Multi-Tooth Design
Robust screw-down clamping (M4x7, M5x13 with T15/T20 wrenches) ensures inserts held rigidly under heavy cutting loads. Disc cutters available with high number of teeth (up to 16) to maximize feed rates and productivity. Precision-machined insert pockets maintain tight tolerances for accurate cutting edge positioning.
Advanced Design Features
Cutting widths from 4mm to 20mm for arbor-mounted discs, with comprehensive size range from 50mm to over 300mm diameter. Standard metric and imperial bore sizes ensure universal compatibility. Through-coolant capabilities and optimized chip evacuation design for enhanced performance.
