MFH-MAX High-Feed Milling Series

MFH-MAX High-Feed Milling Series

The MFH-MAX provides a new alternative to conventional 90° end mills when roughing to medium-finishing. The MFH-MAX also provides more capabilities than conventional high-feed mills by reducing the number of tool paths and machining time when cutting workpieces with large variations in machining margins.

Kyocera Precision Tools introduces a new expansion to their most versatile indexable high-feed milling line. The MFH-MAX provides excellent chip removal performance in various applications, including automotive parts, difficult-to-cut materials, and mold machining. With the ability to take on deeper depths of cut (max. 0.098" / 2.5mm), the MFH-MAX wastes little time getting to work and reduces the number of passes needed to machine the workpiece. The MFH-MAX also supports various milling operations including shouldering, slotting, helical milling, and ramping applications.

After the previous success of the MFH-RAPTOR, MFH-Mini, and MFH-Micro, Kyocera's introduction of the MFH-MAX provides a new alternative to conventional 90° end mills when roughing to medium-finishing. The MFH-MAX also provides more capabilities than conventional high-feed mills by reducing the number of tool paths and machining time when cutting workpieces with large variations in machining margins.

The MFH-MAX utilizes economical, 4-edge, double-sided inserts with a unique convex cutting edge design. These inserts are available in PR15-series PVD insert grades with Kyocera's proprietary MEGACOAT NANO coating technology and a wear resistant CVD grade to cover a wide range of materials from steel, stainless, cast iron, and difficult-to-cut-materials.

Benefits:

  • Large max depth of cut dramatically improves machining efficiency
  • High chip removal ratio
  • Long tool life and stable machining with anti-vibration design
  • Rigid, chatter-resistant body design
  • Convex insert cutting edge reduces impact when entering the workpiece

Features:

  • Cutting Diameters: 1" – 3" / 22mm – 80mm
  • Double-sided Insert: 4 cutting edges
  • Max D.O.C. = 0.098" (2.5mm)
  • GM Chipbreaker: General Purpose
  • Toolholder Lineup: Face mills, end mills, modular end mills

Applications:

  • Facing and shouldering
  • Slot milling
  • Ramping
  • Helical milling
  • Plunge milling

Glossary terms in this article

  • plunge milling
    Highly productive method of metal removal in which an axial machining operation is performed in a single tool sequence. The tool makes a series of overlapping, drill-like plunges t…
  • depth of cut
    Distance between the bottom of the cut and the uncut surface of the workpiece, measured in a direction at right angles to the machined surface of the workpiece.
  • chipbreaker
    Groove or other tool geometry that breaks chips into small fragments as they come off the workpiece. Designed to prevent chips from becoming so long that they are difficult to cont…
  • toolholder
    Secures a cutting tool during a machining operation. Basic types include block, cartridge, chuck, collet, fixed, modular, quick-change and rotating.
