The AV3 RampMill is the fastest way to machine Aluminum. When used in conjunction with controlled engagement toolpaths and trochoidal paths, it achieves the highest Material Removal Rate (MRR) possible by a solid carbide tool and the Patent Pending coolant hole extends tool life exponentially. By ramping at 5-9 times greater angles than an endmill, the RampMill can enter material by helically ramping holes nearly as fast as they can be drilled. By making entry into the middle of the pocket, retract cutter path (air time) is greatly reduced and peak MRR can be achieved, drastically reducing cycle times.
