The RF 100 U is a universal design for a wide range of materi- als and applications. This design is an excellent choice for job shops and manufacturers who mill a variety of materials. The variable helix angle also offers the following additional advantages: • up to 60% higher in feed rates • longer tool life • increased drilling depths • vibration-free machining • suitable for roughing and finishing RF-LINE • increased surface finish quality • reduced cutter wandering 400 standard 4-flute 300 35° 200 Ff in [N] 100 Micro edge 38°0 protection for longer 400 RF 100 tool life 300 200 Ff in [N] 100 0 0 0,5 1,0 1,5 2,0 Linear milling section [mm] A cutting force comparison between a conventional type N and a RF 100 variable helix end mill clearly shows the RF 100 end mill’s quieter and more 35° stable machining characteristics.
