MAPAL replaceable head tools combine precision with economy
The new high-precision CFS connection system from MAPAL, a world leader in precision machining solutions, now enables machine tool users to enjoy the substantial cost savings associated with replaceable-head tools without sacrificing accuracy or convenience. This development is particularly important in the light of the continually rising price of carbide cutting materials. Designed from the outset with ease of use in mind, the new MAPAL CFS connection guarantees a radial run-out accuracy of 5 µm or better. This means that tool holders incorporating the CFS connection can be used as the primary system for drilling and milling, as well as for reaming. In addition, replaceable head tools using the new connection achieve the same service life as monolithic tools and so significantly reduce process costs.
To achieve the best possible stability and rigidity, the CFS connection uses both a taper and a face connection. The special design and manufacture to sub-micron accuracy of the thread and taper/face section allow the connection to achieve its exceptionally high radial run-out accuracy, which optimises cutting performance and maximises tools life by ensuring that all cutting edges are used equally.
Taking full advantage of the benefits offered by the innovative CFS connection, MAPAL has introduced the new CPMill range of replaceable head milling cutters. Because of the easy and safe handling offered by these cutters, the milling head can be replaced while the tool remains in place in the milling machine, which greatly reduces set-up time as well as improving the reliability of the milling process.

CPMill milling cutters with CFS connections are available with a wide range of geometries, from high-feed types to radius mills, ensuring that customers can always find exactly the right cutter to meet their requirements. MAPAL also offers matching deburrers and drills to complement the cutters in its CPMill range.
