Tungaloy Expands DoFeedTri High-Feed Cutter Series With New Diameter Options for Greater Precision and Flexibility!

Tungaloy-NTK America, Inc. has announced a significant expansion of its DoFeedTri high-feed cutter series, introducing a broader range of tool body diameters designed to meet growing industry demands for application-specific tooling. This enhancement gives manufacturers more precise control over tool selection, enabling them to better match cutter geometry with the exact machining requirements of their parts and materials.

In high-feed roughing and ramping operations—especially when working with challenging materials like stainless steel—selecting the correct tool diameter is crucial. Using a cutter that is too large can unintentionally remove excess stock, even when a finishing allowance is planned, resulting in dimensional inaccuracies and inconsistencies that may affect downstream processes. As shops push for higher efficiency, tighter tolerances, and reduced scrap, the need for more customized diameter options has become increasingly important.

The DoFeedTri series has been a popular choice for manufacturers thanks to its rigid tool body and double-sided inserts that provide six effective cutting edges. These features collectively deliver high productivity, durability, and cost efficiency. With the addition of new diameter sizes, Tungaloy is now giving users the ability to fine-tune tool selection like never before.

This expanded range offers several key benefits for machining operations. First, it allows users to select a cutter diameter that closely matches the geometry of the workpiece and the specific machining conditions. This helps minimize tool overhang, reduce cutting loads, and improve overall machining stability. Second, by preventing unwanted overcutting, the new diameter options contribute to maintaining surface integrity and dimensional accuracy throughout the machining process. This leads to fewer rework cycles and improved consistency from part to part.

Additionally, the availability of more diameter choices ensures that manufacturers can address a wider variety of applications, some of which may have previously lacked optimal tooling solutions. Whether dealing with deep cavities, thin walls, hard-to-reach features, or specialized high-feed strategies, users now have greater versatility in selecting the perfect tool for each operation.

According to Tungaloy, these refinements in diameter selection will ultimately enhance process reliability, extend tool life, and deliver more predictable results in even the most demanding conditions. High-feed machining relies heavily on precision, rigidity, and repeatability, making the expanded DoFeedTri lineup a valuable addition for shops seeking elevated performance and productivity.

With this strategic expansion, Tungaloy continues to respond to evolving customer needs by offering tooling solutions that improve operational control, optimize cutting performance, and support the increasing push toward more efficient and accurate machining practices across industries.
