VFX6
Technical Information:
  • VFX for high efficiency milling of titanium alloys
  • On-edge design allows cutting forces to be directed through thick section of the insert achieving high rigidity
  • Highly reliable clamping mechanism
  • The insert seat has a V-shape and other features designed to hold the insert securely in the pocket
  • Low resistance cutting edge similar to a solid end mill
  • Low cutting resistance design enables high quality machining

Applications to Target:
  • VFX for high efficiency milling of titanium alloys
  • Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V
  • Titanium alloy Ti-5553
  • Aerospace parts
  • Landing gear
Benefits:
  • Excellent chip removal with coolant aimed directly at the chip to eject it out of the pocket
  • Unparalleled chip ejection overturns the basic assumption for machining titanium alloys
  • Changeable coolant nozzles to adjust the coolant flow; 0.8mm Standard, and smaller or larger diameter available
  • Long life insert grade
  • New MP9030 grade is a perfect combination of wear and fracture resistance for milling titanium alloys
