16 Usable Cutting Edges Maximizes Productivity

For greater milling productivity, the CERATIZIT MaxiMill 273 Shell Face Milling Cutter provides 16 usable, axially adjustable cutting edges that allow for higher feedrates and enhanced surface finishes. The MaxiMill 273 is part of CERATIZIT's line of indexable milling cutters that are engineered to provide quality and flexibility for all milling operations, whether face milling, shoulder milling or high-feed milling, the company reported.

"The MaxiMill 273 combines all the advantages of positive and negative inserts in one cutter that boosts stability and cost-effectiveness while reducing vibration for superior surface finishes," said a company spokesperson. "With an approach angle of "44.6" and a maximum feedrate of 2 mm/rev., the MaxiMill 273's high insert thicknesses and strong obtuse corner angles improve stability and contribute to excellent system reliability."

The spokesperson continued, "Long, consistent tool life enables lights-out, unmanned production due to CERATIZIT's state-of-the-art Dragonskin insert coating technology and efficient wear protection. Plus, the Dragonskin coating gives the inserts added strength for even the most demanding of machining conditions."

The MaxiMill 273 is easy to use and utilizes a simple clamping mechanism that makes incorrect insert clamping virtually impossible, even without additional clamping devices, the company reported. The cutter allows users to quickly exchange inserts while the tool remains in the machine to shorten set-up time.
