    Integrated chip breaker

    • Short chips that are easy to remove
The new OptiMill-Uni-HPC for machining steel, stainless steel and castings has been specially
developed for automated processes and meets the highest requirements for process reliability, stability and resistance to wear.
The newly developed cutting material has a high ductility, reducing the risk of tool breakage.
Combined with wear-resistant coatings and optimised geometry, this results in a tool that’s ultra-reliable, even in dynamic machining.
Neu im Programm des OptiMill-Uni-HPC ist eine Variante mit integriertem Spanteiler. Sie erzeugt kurze, leicht abführbare Späne, was klare Vorteile bei Luftkühlung und hoher Spanleistung mit sich bringt und hohe Zustelltiefen ermöglicht.
Das Ergebnis: längere Maschinenlaufzeiten, weniger Überwachungsaufwand und höhere 
Prozessstabilität – ideal für mannlose Schichten und automatisierte Abläufe.

From September 2025, the milling cutter is available in three versions:

  • Short without chip breaker (ø 3–20 mm)
  • Long without chip breaker (ø 3–25 mm)
  • Long with chip breaker (ø 6–25 mm)
This sees MAPAL draw on the targeted development of a tried-and-tested concept – for more
efficiency, process reliability and versatility in modern machining.
