Choosing the right High Feed Milling Cutter
Discover the best high feed milling cutter for your needs. Browse through our comprehensive range to learn more.High feed milling is a machining method that combines a shallow depth of cut with a high feed per tooth. This approach allows for faster material removal rates compared to conventional milling methods. The cutting forces are directed axially towards the machine spindle, enhancing stability and reducing vibrations, which in turn extends tool life.
When you're picking out a high feed milling cutter, it's important to think about what material you'll be working with and the design of the cutter. Make sure your machine can handle the cutter's demands and keep an eye on the feed rate and cutting speed to get the best results and a smooth finish. Choosing the right cutter and setting it up properly can really boost your productivity and save you money in the long run.

High Feed SP milling cutters are Seco’s first choice for High Feed machining.
With four cutting edges and single-sided inserts they are designed to handle challenging materials efficiently.
They offer superior tool life and lower costs per edge, removing more material faster than conventional milling.
Optimized for steels, stainless steels and superalloys, these cutters ensure high productivity and performance, making your machining operations faster and more reliable.
Key benefits and features:
- Superior Tool Life: High Feed SP cutters are purpose-built to tackle difficult-to-machine materials like stainless steels, titanium, and superalloys. Their design minimizes notched and built-up edges on inserts, extending tool life and reducing breakage.
- Cost Efficiency: The four-sided solution allows for more material removal and makes your tooling budget go further. The environmentally friendly coating on the cutter body also contributes to longer tool life.
- High Productivity: With a fine-tuned approach to cutting, High Feed SP cutters excel in everything from free-cutting austenitic stainless steels to cobalt and nickel-based superalloys. They achieve high per-tooth feed rates across their full depth of cut range, easily controlling chip formation to ensure fast and reliable processes.
- Versatile Applications: Available in three sizes with a complete range of proven geometries and grades, these cutters are ideal for face milling, copy milling, ramping, pocketing, and plunging. Their positive, single-sided square approach ensures a constant lead angle up to the maximum depth of cut.
