Additively manufactured MaxiMill – 211-DC indexable insert milling system with optimum coolant supply
The position of the coolant holes position allows for direct cooling when machining heat-resistant materials.
Do you machine high-grade titanium components and super alloys?
We understand the daily challenges you face with these difficult-to-machine materials.
Maximum process security with a high cutting speed means a cost-effective solution for our customers. CERATIZIT combines all of these advantages in a 3D-printed tool with the MaxiMill – 211-DC indexable milling system.
The patented shoulder mill offers additional value when machining titanium and other heat-resistant materials, due to the optimum DirectCooling supply on the indexable insert flanks.
These specific materials require the most effective emulsion coolant to achieve an excellent machining result.
With a focused flow of coolant to the flank of the cutting edge, without standard cooling on the chip breaker, CERATIZIT's 3D-printed MaxiMill – 211-DC offers the same advantages as using direct cooling for turning tools. This system is primarily used for heat-resistant materials such as titanium.
The advantages of the MaxiMill – 211-DC at a glance
- Shoulder mill for machining titanium and other heat-resistant materials
- Indexable insert geometry and perfectly positioned coolant holes tailored to DirectCooling
- Optimum DirectCooling supply on the indexable insert flanks
- Additively manufactured milling cutter base body
- Compatible with standard adapters with through-coolant
- Less insert wear
- Higher machining parameters possible
The perfect combination: an ideal nozzle position with matching insert geometry
Produced with additive manufacturing, the base body of the milling cutter on the MaxiMill – 211-DC ensures the design possibilities required for the complexity of flank cooling. This creates the perfect combination of geometric and functional properties – the position of the coolant holes, in addition to an insert geometry that is precisely tailored for cooling – guarantees full coolant coverage of the indexable insert cutting surface.
The numerous coolant holes inside the tool body are compatible with standard adapters combined with through coolant and provide a fast, simple means of ensuring direct cooling.

Precise cooling strategy - made possible by 3D printing
Particularly when machining titanium and other high-temperature materials, the best possible emulsion coolant is required to achieve a good machining result. This is precisely where our patented MaxiMill - 211-DC corner milling cutter, developed and produced in-house, shines, thanks to its optimum DirectCooling supply to the insert flanks.
To achieve this goal, our developers designed a concept that could not be realized with conventional machining processes. The MaxiMill – 211-DC indexable insert milling cutter clearly shows that additive manufacturing processes are no longer a gimmick or just for show, but offer decisive added value in machining.
