The MFK, Kyocera’s new high-efficiency multi-edge cutter for cast iron milling. Two unique insert features reduce cutting forces and improve edge strength. The helical cutting-edge design reduces cutting force. Fractures are controlled by a double-edged insert structure. Sharp cutting performance prevents burr formation.

The MFK is available in fine pitch and extra-fine pitch with cutting diameters ranging from 80 to 315 millimeters. The insert lineup consists of four different chipbreaker types for applications from roughing to finishing.

The new CA420M CVD-coated carbide grade is specifically created for long tool life and stable machining of cast iron. The test data shows the excellent performance of CA420M. Other grade options include PR1510 for stability, PR1525 for fracture resistance, and KS6050 and CS7050 ceramics for high-speed cutting.

The MFK high-efficiency cutter is the answer for all your cast iron milling applications.
