System Performance Analysis
The performance of our Right Angle Face Milling Cutter system is best understood by its application-specific strengths, which showcase a deep engineering focus on solving distinct manufacturing challenges.
Heavy-Duty and High-Efficiency Roughing Performance: For applications demanding aggressive material removal, our 3PTF and AP1003 series deliver exceptional performance. These cutters are engineered for heavy cutting, capable of handling a rotary and feed volume that is three times that of a normal cutter. The performance is derived from an extremely robust cutter body, a highly secure insert clamping system, and super-strong inserts (3PKT/APKT) that can withstand immense cutting forces. Similarly, the LN11R/LN16R series are designed for "quasi-heavy cutting," providing a powerful, stable platform for significant stock removal with excellent process security.
Extreme High-Feed Milling Performance: When the primary performance metric is the metal removal rate (MRR), our R217.96 and MFWN series are the definitive solution. These cutters utilize a high-feed milling strategy, which involves a shallow axial depth of cut (Ap) but an extremely aggressive feed per tooth (Fz). This directs the cutting forces axially up into the machine spindle, the most stable direction, allowing for phenomenal feed rates. The use of economical, double-sided hexagonal WNMU inserts provides multiple cutting edges per insert, drastically lowering the cost-per-part while maximizing machine throughput.
Versatility and Multi-Application Performance: Many of our cutters are designed as "Swiss Army Knife" solutions, delivering excellent performance across a wide range of operations. The AHUB series is a prime example, capable of roughing, pocket milling, slotting, plunge milling, and plane finishing with a single tool. Its performance is enabled by a large chip space for unimpeded chip flow and a rigid, tapered body design.
