The M.A. Ford TuffCut XV Series XV5CB is said to be a stable, reliable solution for deep, dynamic milling applications, especially developed for mold builders. The five-flute chipbreaker end mill was designed to deliver exceptional metal removal on steels and stainless steels. Offered in both 3xD and 4xD length of cut options, M.A. Ford says the XV5CB increases productivity through its aggressive stepover capabilities.
The tool’s combined variable pitch geometry flutes and thick core design minimizes harmonic vibration and increases strength. Along with the company’s staggered chipbreaker technology — to reduce cutting force and extend the life of the tool — a good balance can be reached, the company contends, increasing machining performance.
With its thick core design and increased axial cutting, the XV5CB can be used across many industries. For example, the end mill series offers firearms and automotive industries, and heavy equipment and general engineering a durable cutting tool that stands up to its work load.
