Machining cast iron often presents hurdles such as heavy tool wear, burr formation, and breakouts along workpiece edges—factors that can slow production and reduce efficiency. Ceratizit’s MaxiMill – S-Power milling cutters are engineered specifically to overcome these challenges, delivering stable, high-performance milling with reduced vibration and superior surface finish.
Featuring a high tooth count and double-sided indexable inserts, the MaxiMill – S-Power system combines efficiency with durability. Its innovative double wedge clamp design ensures quick, secure attachment of inserts, simplifying tool changes while maintaining precision.
Robert Frei, Technical Product Manager at Ceratizit, highlights:
“With the MaxiMill – S-Power, manufacturers can achieve higher feed rates thanks to the optimal 12 cutting edges on a 63mm diameter tool and positive cutting edge design. This not only enhances surface quality but also significantly reduces burr formation—benefitting industries machining braking systems or high-performance motor mounting surfaces.”
Key features include:
Available in diameters from Ø56 to Ø125, the MaxiMill – S-Power is specially suited for cast iron grades GJS, GJV, and GJL. With a recommended maximum depth of cut around 8mm and feed rates between 0.08 and 0.15mm, it balances minimal breakout risk with high productivity.
The indexable inserts cover ISO P/K applications with cutting edge geometry M and come in corner radii of 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2mm. Substrate grades offered include CTPK220, CTCP230, and ceramic, allowing users to tailor performance to their specific machining requirements.
