High-feed cutting in hardened steels with XFeed-H

XFeed-H – faster machining and high process reliability at the same time Shorter throughput times In conventional work sequences, mold blanks are machined before being hardened and finished with a machining allowance. Idle times before and after the hardening process result in high throughput times. The big advantage of HFC milling cutters is that the entire milling process can be carried out after the mold has been hardened. This significantly shortens the throughput time for mold production. Small, axial line steps ensure near-net-shape roughing of the hardened workpiece. This saves time and money as subsequent finishing processes can be implemented much faster. Previous process steps 1.
