Face mills take hybrid approach.
The SP6H/SP6N series of S-Max high-feed face mills combines robust
edge strength and high-feed capability, providing a hybrid approach to
metalcutting applications.
The high-feed rate is made possible by an 80-degree lead angle,
allowing for an extreme chip thinning factor. Two insert choices consist
of a multipurpose geometry and a high-shear geometry for titanium and
high temperature alloys.

The face mills have ramping capability and a DOC as great as
0.072". Each insert provides four cutting edges, an advantage over
comparable two-edged styles. Medium and high-density cutters are
available. Diameters range from 2.0-8.0". Coolant or air
through-the-tool features are available on certain styles. Ingersoll
