Universal now offers even more

End mills from the FRANKEN TOP-Cut product range are universal milling cutters suitable for use on almost all materials. The tools are suitable for roughing, finishing and high-speed finishing.

The new Pro range expands the application spectrum of the FRANKEN TOP-Cut family with even higher-performance end mills. It is suitable for HPC roughing, highly dynamic machining processes and HSC finishing in a wide range of materials. Thanks to an optimised microgeometry and a newly developed ALCR coating, the Pro range achieves higher cutting performance, longer tool life and, as a result, greater process reliability.

The new end mills will initially be available in two different lengths. Thanks to the extended flutes and length of the neck relief in the long version, high feed rates and maximum cutting depths can be achieved. The 5-fluted extra-long version without a neck relief offers superior stability with maximum cutting depth. Chip breakers positioned in the centre guarantee reliable separation and removal of the chips.

Series manufacturers with medium to large batch sizes in particular will benefit from the Pro line through lower tool and production costs. In combination with the FRANKEN regrinding service, stock-keeping, procurement and handling costs can also be sustainably reduced.
