Open Face Milling ToolFinder
When open face milling, consider the surface finish requirement, how fast you need to remove the material, and how many edges the insert provides.
- For aggressive material removal, choose round or high-feed inserts
- For fine finishing of a part face, octagonal or shoulder inserts are a good choice
- Check out tooling recommendations for face milling against a shoulder
If you have questions about the best tool choice and parameters for your application, please contact us!
