or feed rate) will meet possibilities of the feed
drive. Also, the power consumption should not
be too high. The method, MF – moderate feed
milling, lies between traditional rough milling and
the FF technique. And again, the milling cutter is
a key player in this process.

The cutting edge angle of an MF milling tool is
approximately 30°, an increase when compared
to FF tools. This reduces fz and maintains the
necessary chip thickness but allows greater
depths of cut, hence metal removal rates
remains high. The increased cutting power is
less of a problem for the heavy-duty main drives,
therefore moderate feeds in combination with
the appropriate tool geometry provides the
necessary results. There are two types of ISCAR
MF cutters. The HELIDO 600 UPFEED has
different design configurations: endmills, face
mills and replaceable milling heads with a thread
connection for the FLEXFIT system.
