Multi-Cut end mills are specifically designed for high-performance roughing operations. Due to variable spacing of flutes combined with the NR roughing profile vibrations, cutting forces are minimized and metal removal rates are maximized.
DUPLEX Geometry:
Tools with a DUPLEX geometry are specially designed for high feed milling. The term DUPLEX comes from the Latin word meaning as much as "double" or "two-fold". DUPLEX end mills make it possible to do pocket milling and slot milling (2D) as well as complex 3D operations like copy or high-feed milling with one tool. The DUPLEX geometry is a ground double-radius geometry (DUPLEX geometry) which permits the highest feed rates with maximum axial depth-of-cut values.

Multi-Cut High Performance Roughing End Mills | 11/18/2015
The versatility of the Multi-Cut carbide end mill with a roughing flute profile is demonstrated in P20 tool steel. The video clip shows a slotting, periphery milling and pocket milling application with the same end mill. The center cutting, NR roughing flute profile allows for plunge and side milling at extremely high feed rates.
Slot Milling Strategy Comparisons | 12/08/2016
The versatility of the Multi-Cut end mill is demonstrated with six separate milling strategies using a single Multi-Cut Duplex carbide end mill. A slotting cut is shown using an; HPC High Performance path, an HSC High Speed milling path, a Trochoidal milling strategy, a 3-D Trochoidal Slot cut and a Plunge Roughing strategy. Lastly, a 3D Contour milling path is shown.
