Mapal's PCD milling cutters have a cutting edge length that corresponds to around 60% of their diameter, which represents the maximum contact depth when milling parts such as frame elements and wing components.
In OptiMill-SPM tools, Mapal says the PCD blades are embedded and balanced vertically, guaranteeing a high level of stability and minimising the risk of vibration. In addition, thanks to their positive cutting edge geometry and chip handling capabilities, cutting force is reduced by up to 15%, compared to conventional tools, it is claimed.
Mapal's OptiMill-SPM tools are available in both PCD and solid carbide versions, in diameters ranging from 6 to 50 mm. The product portfolio also includes versions with the CFS replaceable head system.
