High Performance and High Speed Cutting strategies are some of the most effective application methods for today‘s solid carbide milling tools. By utilizing chip thinning strategies, significant increases in productivity and tool life can be achieved. These methods are also helpful when using machines with less power and stability. Even with weaker machines and less stable working conditions, very high cutting parameters can be achieved. These strategies are particularly effective for increasing process reliability in difficult to machine materials and long length to diameter ratios.
