Versatile and cost-effective end mill cutters with blade inserts offer an excellent alternative for high throughput production lines
Features of Chain Headway AP06 End Mill Cutters
- Integral Water Cooling Extends Tool Life
- Increased Cutting Efficiency
- Good for Interrupted Cutting
Integral Water Cooling Extends Tool Life
Water cooling reduces cutting heat temperature and assists chip removal from the cutting surface, extending tool life and improving surface finishes.
Increased Cutting Efficiency
Our designs feature multiple cutting edges to increase cutting efficiency. By adding cutting inserts as tool diameter increases, cutting efficiency is retained regardless of the size of the cutting tool.
Good for Interrupted Cutting
Low-resistance and high-precision designs are good for interrupted cutting operations as they improve the accuracy of cut and reduce the likelihood of errors.
MAS Mini End Mill Cutters
The Chain Headway range of MAS Mini End Mill Cutters are compatible with AP06 cutting inserts APKT060204-M02 and APKT060204-MT for cutting:
- Alloyed Steels
- Stainless Steels
- Cast Iron
Available with cutting diameters from 10-40mm, shank sizes from 8-32mm and featuring between 2 and 10 cutting inserts depending on size, Chain Headway MAS Mini End Mill Cutters offer a flexible range of high-quality cutting tools with interchangeable cutting inserts.
Indexable Inserts Reduce Cost of End Mill
For production lines or mass production, using a MAS mini end mill cutter helps to reduce the cost of buying cutting tools compared to traditional disposable end mills. This is because MAS mini end mill cutters use cost-effective replaceable cutting inserts. Inserts are easily changed when they wear out. Because large disposable end mills are expensive, our customers can achieve significant savings, especially with cutting diameters over 16mm.
MAS Screw-On Mini End Mill Cutter
Featuring alloyed steel construction to increase cutting stability and tool life, MAS type screw-on mini end mill cutters are available in diameters from 10-40mm. Different lengths of screw-on tungsten carbide extensions are available to increase the depth of cut possible, and inserts can be changed for different material types.
BGP Mini Face Mill Cutter
The Chain Headway BGP mini face mill cutter has multiple blades for excellent finishing at high feed rates and accepts the full range of AP06 inserts to enable cutting of multiple material types. Available in diameters of 40, 50 and 63mm, with 10,12 or 14 cutting inserts.
APE Rough Cutting End Mills
Our APE rough-cutting end mills are suitable for large area milling, and can be used to substitute for tungsten rough milling cutters. They can be fitted with our AP06 inserts to cut a variety of materials.
