OptiMill®-Composite-Speed-Plus
A new dimension of process reliability

The OptiMill-Composite-Speed-Plus features a new diamond coating developed by MAPAL

with even distribution and higher coating thickness. The bigger core diameter increases
fracture strength by 50 percent. The improved groove profile ensures efficient, reliable removal
of dust and process heat even when machining large volumes. The cutting wedge has been
specially optimised to meet the requirements of brittle workpiece material. The special cut-
ting-edge serration causes double compression so that fibre fraying on the workpiece edges
of the upper and lower sides are reliably separated.

This allows the OptiMill-Composite-Speed-Plus to attain a new dimension in process reliability.

Compared to the OptiMill-Composite-Speed, 20 percent longer tool life is achieved.
