SF5 Carbide High Feed Milling Cutters are specially designed tools used in the metalworking industry to achieve high-performance milling. They combine optimized geometry, advanced carbide substrate, and a TiSiN coating, allowing for significantly higher feed rates compared to conventional milling cutters.
The advantages and applications of SF5 carbide high feed end mills are:
Exceptional high productivity:
• Enable significantly higher feed per tooth (fz), up to 10–20 times greater compared to conventional milling (as explained below), while operating at a low depth of cut (ap).
• Suitable for standard CNC machines – allow feed rates exceeding 8000 mm/min even at spindle speeds of 4000–6000 rpm, thanks to the high feed per tooth.
• Significantly reduce part machining time.
Long tool life:
• The carbide substrate offers exceptional wear resistance.
• The cutting edge geometry reduces vibrations and heat generation, extending tool life.
Reduced load on the spindle and machine:
• The load is mainly transferred along the Z-axis (axially) rather than radially, which protects the spindle and improves stability.
Suitable for difficult to machine materials:
• Excellent for machining stainless steel, hardened steels up to 65 HRC, titanium alloys, and other hard-to-machine materials.
Low residual surface roughness:
• Thanks to excellent chip control and precise cutting edge geometry.
Applications of SF5 Carbide End Mills
Roughing:
• Ideal for removing large amounts of material in a short time.
Industries with high-performance requirements:
• Manufacturing of injection molds, die casting molds, and stamping dies;
• General metalworking;
• Automotive and aerospace industries;
• Energy sector and turbines.
CNC milling of flat and inclined surfaces:
• Suitable for 3-axis and 5-axis machining.
Milling in hard-to-reach areas or thin-walled parts:
• Thanks to reduced side forces, they do not deform thin-walled components.
How is the significant efficiency difference of SF5 high feed milling cutters achieved?
The cutting geometry of SF5 cutters is designed with a very small attack angle, which allows:
• High feed rates at shallow cutting depths
• Significant reduction of lateral forces
This means that machining can be done much more aggressively without compromising stability or overloading the machine.
