TaeguTec’s newly released WIN-SFEED CHASE-8-SFEED provides higher productivity than conventional double-sided 8-corner inserts due to its reinforced edge shape and unique insert pocket angle. The high negative radial rake angle and high positive axial rake angle provide outstanding machining performance for roughing (45°) and high feed (20°) face milling under difficult cutting conditions. Coupled with the stronger body rigidity, excellent chip evacuation is achieved.

The CHASE-8-SFEED is a cost-effective solution due to the double-sided, multi-edge design and entry angle, as well as being a high-productivity solution that offers a low cost per edge. For dependable and predictable machining, powerful, light-cutting geometries are combined with a big, sturdy insert seated in a stable area of the cutter. The special insert position facilitates quick and simple insert replacements, and the clamping is simple and incredibly secure.

The CHASE-8-SFEED inserts are available in two sizes, SQKU 11 and 14, and the same insert can be used interchangeably with 45° roughing cutters and 20° high feed cutters. The line also offers superb surface roughness, and its reinforced edge is optimised for high feed machining.

Compared to conventional cutters on the market, its improved body rigidity and chip evacuation make it perfectly suited for confined spaces, while its larger number of teeth increases productivity.

In a real-world environment, the CHASE-8-SFEED increased productivity by 33 per cent while increasing tool life by 43 per cent during the machining of a workpiece made from SCM 440. In another real-world comparison, TaeguTec’s CHASE-8-SFEED out produced the competitor by 50 per cent on the machining of a FCD 500 workpiece, said the company.
