Under the current Challenges and Market Conditions—where high-efficiency machining is required across a wide range of industries such as general machining, mold & die, automotive, construction machinery, and heavy electric equipment—the conventional 6-corner high feed cutters have limitations in productivity, as the depth of cut is restricted to less than 1 mm. This is especially problematic in mold machining, where long tool overhangs tend to cause chatter and vibration, negatively affecting machining accuracy and tool life. Furthermore, in plunge milling operations, chip jamming often leads to cutting edge chipping, making stable machining performance a critical requirement.
Product Overview
Featuring a high-rigidity design and six-corner inserts, the high-feed cutter “DoFeedTri” is an optimal high-efficiency tool for roughing and ramping operations. With excellent edge strength and a low lead angle, it significantly enhances machining efficiency and tool life.
Benefits and Features
Feature 1: Design for High-Efficiency Machining
- Supports a maximum depth of cut of 1.5 mm, increasing material removal per pass and reducing overall machining time
- The low entering-angle cutting edge enables high-feed machining while suppressing chatter
- Generates thin chips, which helps lower cutting heat and contributes to extended tool life
Feature 2: Excellent Cutting Edge Strength and Stability
- Large corner radius distributes impact on the cutting edge, improving chipping resistance
- Reverse rake relief face enhances edge support rigidity, ensuring stable machining even during heavy or interrupted cuts
- Enables long continuous machining with minimal edge chipping, even under conditions where chip accumulation tends to occur
