MaxiMill 273 Shell Face Milling Cutter

MaxiMill 273 Shell Face Milling Cutter

The MaxiMill 273 combines all the advantages of positive and negative inserts in one cutter that boosts stability and cost-effectiveness while reducing vibration for superior surface finishes. With an approach angle of 44.6o and a maximum feed rate of 2 mm/rev., the MaxiMill 273's high insert thicknesses and strong obtuse corner angles improve stability and contribute to excellent system reliability.
