New Strategies for High-Speed Roughing
An alternative approach to this application produces tool paths with a controlled engagement angle.
WatchHigh Speed Roughing Tool Path Strategy
The amount of time that can be saved with the new roughing strategies varies with the material and shape being cut, and the machine tool and cutting tools being used. A series of trials1 has shown that a time savings of at least 40 percent is achievable.
WatchHybrid Geometry Machining in Action
Hybrid quad-force geometry is a combination of high-feed geometry, variable flute geometry, variable helix geometry and offset geometry that gives programmers and machinists the flexibility to side/slot, high-feed, trochoidal and plunge/variable plunge mill with one tool.
