Selection guide Machine considerations Ensure the tool you choose is compatible with your machine’s capabilities. • Check machine stability, power and torque, especially for larger components • Verify that the component can be clamped securely • The spindle size defines the maximum milling cutter diameter and depth of cut that the machine can handle • Check what cutting fluid and coolant supply is available • Always use the shortest possible tool overhang to enhance stability Choose milling concept • Face milling concepts are ideal for creating flat surfaces quickly and efficiently • Shoulder milling concepts are used for precise 90° walls and flat floors • High-feed milling concepts are great for productivity, using shallow cuts and high feed rates • Profile milling concepts are best for complex shapes and contours • Groove milling concepts are used for cutting slots or keyways with precision Some of our milling concepts are more versatile and can perform multiple operations, while some concepts are optimized for a specific task, which often improves productivity. The best choice balances flexibility, precision and efficiency based on your machining goals. 5
