High-feed milling – MaxiMill – HFC and MaxiMill – HFCD systems
Milling tools with indexable inserts for extremely high chip volumes
Do you need a face and form milling system for steel, stainless steel, cast iron and heat-resistant alloys that offers process security and extremely high feeds? Then the MaxiMill – HFC and MaxiMill – HFCD systems and their indexable inserts with four cutting edges are the ideal solution. This powerful, flexible system is available in a diameter range of 16 mm to 160 mm.
MaxiMill – HFCD: High-feed milling and copy milling in one powerful tool
We are delighted to present our latest high-feed milling system with double-sided indexable inserts: MaxiMill – HFCD. This innovative system offers maximum stability and performance.

Maximum feeds and excellent material removal rates with MaxiMill – HFC
The MaxiMill – HFC high-feed milling system is primarily used in applications where a high chip volume and maximum process security are essential. No wonder, when it can achieve phenomenal material removal rates thanks to a width of cut of ap 3.3 mm and maximum feeds per tooth. With their patented, rectangular geometry, large radius and nickel-plated tool holders, the MaxiMill indexable inserts offer high rigidity and soft cutting capability. The stable contact surfaces ensure effective force transmission and minimal vibrations.
Advantages of the HFC system
- Extremely high material removal rates
A depth of cut of up to 3.3 mm and maximum feeds make extremely efficient roughing operations possible. - Extremely quiet running
Cutting forces are exerted primarily in the axial direction, minimising vibration and reducing stress on the spindle, even with long tool overhangs. - Maximum process security
Optimised chip spaces ensure process-secure chip evacuation. - Effective force transmission
Stable contact surfaces ensure effective force transmission.
- Process-secure due to optimised chip spaces for reliable chip evacuation
- Long service life thanks to nickel-plated, FEM-optimised tool holder
- Reduced wear due to MMS-optimised coolant supply
- XOLX
- High rigidity
reduced power consumption and extremely quiet running, therefore also ideal for machining unstable components
- Stable and smooth-cutting
thanks to the patented, rectangular cutting edge geometry and large radius
- High chip volume
thanks to large width of cut and maximum feeds per tooth
