TaeguTec has added new solid carbide heads for 5-axis profiling to the Maxi-Rush line. Profiling with solid carbide ball type end mills on 5-axis machines has disadvantages such as excessive machining time and poor surface finish. To solve these problems, TaeguTec has added oval and lens shape solid carbide heads that are capable of doing 3D profiling.

The new heads are designed for high-pitch, semi-finishing and finishing profiling parts used in the aerospace, power generation, medical and mould and die industries. Even in high-pitch conditions, the same surface finish can be obtained compared to solid carbide ball type end mills, therefore the new heads are capable of high productivity machining.

The features include reduced machining time, increased productivity and similar surface finish even in higher pitch conditions compared to solid carbide ball type end mills, in the same pitch and machining time conditions, solid carbide heads provide better surface finish over solid carbide ball type end mills, wider cutting edge contact for improved machining stability and longer tool life and they are ideal for machining difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloy, Inconel and stainless steel.

Introducing insert type modular heads for Maxi-Rush shanks
TaeguTec has also introduced insert type modular heads for the Maxi-Rush line of shanks. The insert type modular heads of the Tang-Sfeed, Chase-Mill and Nan-Rush products have been incorporated into the flexible Maxi-Rush line in order to further diversify the popular line’s application range. Due to their easy indexable head replacement of the shank mounted to the chuck, the additions to the line offer superior performance, improved productivity and reduced set-up time.

Whether you are roughing, finishing, milling, spot drilling, chamfering, countersinking, centre drilling or slotting Maxi-Rush has a solution for you. With this expansion of the Maxi-Rush line, customers now have a wider operation range to choose from.
