Almost every machine shop uses facemills for roughing, semifinishing and finishing, but many of these shops miss out on increased material-removal rates because they run yesterday's tooling on today's machine tools. The larger spindle tapers and higher horsepower ratings, feeds and speeds of modern machines need to run with the latest in facemilling cutter and insert technology to maximize a machine's facemilling potential and thus significantly speed up production, increase efficiency and reduce cost per part, especially on larger workpieces.
