APF Developed and engineered for high-feed finishing of thin wall aluminum applications. Significant reduction in machining S-CARB APF times, with straighter walls and superior finishes compared to waterlining. • 4 flute unique variable geometry reduces vibration and allows finishing of thin walls in one pass • Through coolant design • Polished flutes for superior finishes • Significant reduction in cycle times TYPICAL METHOD APF METHOD High-speed waterline High-speed finishing finishing, multiple at full depth without passes at numerous wall distortion levels to produce acceptable thin walls ONE HIT ENGINEERED FLUTE DESIGN TIME (MINUTES) TIME IN MINUTES 600 500 400 300 200 10 0 HIGH-SPEED S-CARB WATERLINE APF Dramatic increase in productivity versus the high speed waterline finishing method, which requires multiple passes to produce acceptable thin walls. www.kyocera-sgstool.com 31
