Anyone who wants to be at the forefront of machining today must not only be fast but also clever. In High Performance Cutting (HPC), the goal is to remove as much material as possible from the workpiece in the shortest time – or better said: to do it process-safe, economically, and precisely. Tungaloy-NTK Germany GmbH not only provides the right 'teeth' but also complete tool systems for various milling tasks with high feed.
Especially in the currently economically tense situation, many manufacturers are considering relocating production abroad to reduce costs. But this doesn't have to be the case: With powerful milling systems, existing machines and the existing know-how can be optimally utilized to specifically increase productivity in one's own plant and sustainably reduce unit costs. This way, manufacturing remains where the knowledge is – and production relocation becomes unnecessary.
Matthias Mergen, product manager for rotating tools at Tungaloy NTK-Germany: 'In high feed milling, the machine performance can be maximally exploited. Although the load on the tools increases, the heat generated is safely dissipated with the chips. This even allows for dry machining. A notable feature of our milling systems is the significantly lower spindle load. The cutting forces are directed axially, allowing for overall low-vibration machining with large cutting depths. This is particularly advantageous for older or less powerful machines.'
The perfect team for every milling discipline
In the rally of machining, it's not just about going full throttle – it's about perfectly combining feel, technology, and control. Thus, in HPC milling, speed alone is not the only factor: the feed per tooth, cutting depth, and optimal tool strategy are crucial. This is the principle: in High Performance Cutting, it's about efficiently and precisely removing as much material as possible in the shortest time – a volume of time that is impressive.
The downside: The load on the tool increases. No problem – if the tool cooperates. And this is where Tungaloy comes into play. Because where others reach their limits, Tungaloy cutters really get going. Thanks to sophisticated geometries, robust substrates, and intelligent clamping systems, Tungaloy's milling systems deliver top performance – even on demanding terrain and under full load.
DoFeed – the long-distance runner with fine tuning
The classic in the high feed program scores with wiper indexable inserts that do not do things by halves: Instead of roughing and then finishing – simply do both in one go. The surface qualities? Impressively smooth, well below Ra 1 µm. The clever chip shape and the central coolant supply make the DoFeed series the first choice when it comes to speed and quality – widely copied, but the performance remains unmatched.
DoFeedQuad – more teeth, more pulling power
Wide pockets, large surfaces? DoFeedQuad can handle it all. The face mill with the 'dovetail' not only provides secure hold for indexable inserts but also ensures perfect chip flow with its wiper edge. Up to 14 mm feed per revolution? That's not milling anymore – that's material removal at low altitude! The tool life is just as impressive as the process stability – especially a real joker for older machines with less power.
MillQuadFeed – the octagonal professional
Eight cutting edges on one insert? Every blank quickly becomes a precision part. MillQuadFeed is a real workhorse – with cutting depths of up to 2.5 mm and a feed of 2 mm per tooth. Its particularly smooth operation makes it the ideal tool for high performance while 'treading lightly'. Chips fly, productivity rises – and the cutter stays cool.
DoTwistBall – cleverly twisted
Round plates are good. DoTwistBall is better. The spiral-twisted WSP shows conventional solutions the cold edge. Thanks to clever design, the chips reliably flow away without attacking the screw heads. Whether grooves or pockets are to be milled or holes are to be made by plunging with helical movements, DoTwistBall is the right solution. Because the distinctive design pays off for the user directly in optimal tool life and excellent overall performance.
TungForceFeed – the strong little one
Small but mighty: The TungForceFeed series puts an end to vibrations at small diameters or long overhangs. With diameters starting from 8 mm, the system confidently mills through tight pockets and complex shapes. The stable cutting edges and the thoughtful chip shape ensure a cool head – even under high pressure. Anyone who thinks small cutters can't perform big should definitely get to know TungForceFeed.
DoFeed-Tri – six times sharp, three times safe
Six cutting edges on one indexable insert? Even the roughing process becomes a walk in the park. The triangular geometry prevents plate movement during milling and ensures a secure fit. The system showcases its strengths especially in ramping and long tool overhangs. The reduced entry angle puts an end to chatter marks – and the strong cutting edge holds up even at higher speeds, delivering on its promises.
Tungaloy brings speed to machining
When it needs to be fast, precise, and economical, there’s no way around high feed milling. And those who rely on tools from Tungaloy have the edge from the start. What sets Tungaloy apart from others? The perfect combination of material expertise, thoughtful design, and true process proximity. Whether face or pocket milling, ramping, contour milling, or grooving: There is the right system for every application – including optimized cutting materials like AH3225 or AH8015, which also handle difficult materials with ease. Whether single parts or series production, whether steel, stainless steel, cast iron, or superalloy – with Tungaloy, every machining operation becomes a bullseye in terms of efficiency and quality.
