Tungaloy Corporation has launched a new High-Feed Milling Portal designed to help manufacturers understand high-feed milling and identify suitable tooling solutions for their machining applications.
High-feed milling is a productive roughing strategy that combines shallow depths of cut with high feed rates. Achieving its full benefits requires selecting the appropriate cutter concept and understanding factors such as chip thinning, entering angle, cutting force direction, machine capability, and tool path strategy.
The new portal brings this information together in one dedicated resource, combining a Quick Selection Guide with an HFM Knowledge Center.
Quick Selection Guide
The Quick Selection Guide simplifies the first stage of tool selection. Users answer three questions based on:
- Machining condition
- Tool diameter range
- Workpiece material
Based on these inputs, the guide identifies suitable Tungaloy high-feed milling solutions, helping users navigate the company’s broad HFM portfolio more efficiently.
HFM Knowledge Center
Beyond tool selection, the portal provides practical educational content covering the fundamentals and application know-how behind high-feed milling.
The Knowledge Center explains topics including chip thinning and entering angle, benefits and limitations of HFM, typical applications, effective cutting diameter, long-overhang machining, APMX, tool path strategy, and troubleshooting.
By combining tool selection with practical machining knowledge, the portal helps users not only find a suitable cutter, but also better understand how and where high-feed milling can be applied effectively.
The new High-Feed Milling Portal is part of Tungaloy’s continued effort to make tooling knowledge and application support easier to access through practical digital resources.
