New TuffCut^® 3D Xtreme Finisher, Oval Series

XFO and XFO-AL

The M.A. Ford® TuffCut® 3D XFO and XFO-AL series tangential radius form allows for high accuracy finishing of large drafted/radiused surfaces and blended fillets with one tool. The series design will enable machining with a large stepover during finishing & semi-finishing operations with high accuracy & efficiency. With their tight tolerances and wide range of material suitability this tool is best used in the aerospace, medical, motorsport, and die/mold industry.

To get the max benefits from this tool a 5-axis machine is most often required to effectively utilize this tool and sophisticated CAM software capable of driving circle segment tooling is required.
