Sumitomo Electric Carbide Inc.'s new MSX high-speed milling cutter achieves feed rates of up to 0.055 ipt for significantly reduced cycle times. To ensure higher rigidity and accuracy, the MSX features a double clamping system.

The MSX Mill is ideal for ramping and helical applications using general steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and cast iron.

Recommended insert grades for steel include PVD-coated ACP200 and ACP300. For cast iron applications, PVD-coated ACK300 and CVD-coated ACK200 insert grades are recommended. The PVD-coated inserts provide excellent fracture resistance, while the CVD-coated insert offers excellent anti-adhesion and wear resistance.

The MSX is available in Weldon (EW) and cylindrical (ELC) shanks.
