The MFPN high-efficiency face mill. Discover the five key advantages of the highly efficient MFPN face mill.

Advantage number one: the economical 10-cornered pentagonal inserts provide a low cost per cutting edge. The two-face restraint facing the major cutting edge provides stable and accurate cutting. Compared to the conventional face mill, the MFPN improves machining efficiency for high-feed cutting.

Advantage number two: the new helical cutting-edge design lowers the cutting force, and the high axial rake angle reduces chattering. Compared to the competition, the cutting force of the MFPN is greatly reduced.

Advantage number three: fractures are suppressed with a double-edged cutting position. The two major cutting edges make the chips thin, thereby reducing the impact load at the entrance and exit of the workpiece. The MFPN shows superior fracture resistance compared to competitors.

Advantage number four: three new chipbreakers to improve chip control. The three-dimensional chipbreakers improve chip control and prevent biting. The GM chipbreaker for general purpose, the SM chipbreaker for low cutting force, and the GH chipbreaker for heavy cutting. Three types of chipbreakers to cover a wide range of applications.

Advantage number five: new MEGACOAT grades provide extended tool life. The MEGACOAT advanced coating technology provides superior hardness and oxidation resistance. MEGACOAT PR1225 for steel and stainless steel, and MEGACOAT PR1210 for cast iron and titanium. Compared to the competition, MEGACOAT PR1225 shows excellent wear resistance. The MFPN shows longer tool life than the competitor’s cutter.

With cutting diameters ranging from two and a half to ten inches, and with coarse-pitch, fine-pitch, and extra-fine-pitch cutter options, the MFPN can be used for a wide range of applications.
