  • 3-D flute design offers excellent chip disposal
  • Good tool life, due to effective chip control and low cutting resistance
  • The APX4K 50mm has 3-effective flutes & the 63mm has 4-effective flutes; both can provide increased productivity
  • Inserts with 0.032" radius are recommended
  • For Tool Description and Cutting Conditions, please see tabs at the bottom of this Excel sheet

Applications to Target:
  • Machining parts where you need to reach deep into a cavity
  • Machining steel & other materials, where the parts have tall flat surfaces
  • The use of the long cutting edge type makes it possible to dramatically increase efficiency
  • APX can produce a good wall finish, using the M-breaker
Benefits:
  • Grade VP15TF recommended for cutting steel, cast & ductile irons
  • Grade VP20RT recommended for cutting stainless steel & demanding applications
