X-Feed™ significantly reduces manufacturing time machining heat-treated steels up to 67 HRc hardness, having 50% more effective cutting edges than regular solid carbide tooling. X-Feed™ combines roughing and semi-finishing into one operation by taking shallow depths-of-cut at extremely high feed rates, maximizing Metal Removal Rates (MRR). X-Feed™, which has a 3XD neck and extended reach design, is perfectly suited for pocketing using 3D machining techniques such as ramping and helical interpolation. During face milling, the proprietary front end geometry of X-Feed™ is entirely in contact with the workpiece, providing up to 55% engagement compared to the regular 5 to 10% provided by ball nose type tooling.
