X-Feed ™ End Mills for
High-Feed Milling
X-Feed
X-Feed signifi cantly reduces manufacturing time machining heat-treated steels up to 67 HRC
hardness, having 50% more effective cutting edges than regular solid carbide tooling. X-Feed
combines roughing and semi-fi nishing into one operation by taking shallow depths-of-cut at
extremely high feed rates, maximising Metal Removal Rates (MRR). X-Feed, which has a 3 x D neck
and extended reach design, is perfectly suited for pocketing using 3D machining techniques such as
ramping and helical interpolation. During face milling, the proprietary front-end geometry of X-Feed
is entirely in contact with the workpiece, providing up to 55% engagement compared to the regular
5–10% provided by ball nose-type tooling.
• Proprietary 6-fl ute design for high productivity.
• One tool for roughing and semi-fi nishing operations.
• Covering hardened materials ranging from 37–67 HRC
with two dedicated geometries.
• Custom solutions tailored for machining titanium and
other high-temperature alloys available.
6-fl ute design allowing helical
ramping, circular interpolation,
and face milling.
