Home : Products : Benefits of Hollow Milling

Hollow mills and other tooling from Genesee Manufacturing offer many advantages over single point turning or interpolation methods, particularly on high production runs. These advantages include:

• Multiple blades or insert holders allow you to triple your feed rate.
• Machining from the end of the part allows you to encapsulate the part, achieve balanced cutting action and hold concentricity and tolerances.
• Adjustability often results in the ability to produce a range of part sizes using a single tool body.
• Our special tools allow you to perform what would otherwise be separate or secondary operations simultaneously at one station in one pass.
• Genesee tools are easy to set and adjust.
• Our blades can be easily ground per our instruction in a simple fixture, or we offer regrinding services.
• GEN-DEX hollow mills offer a throwaway indexable insert alternative to blades where complex forms or sharp corners are not required.
• Genesee blades can be reground dozens of times and are then replaceable.
• Standard products can be altered to suit customer requirements.
• Form blades with single or multiple chamfers and radii are produced to order.
• We will provide shank type and size to your specifications including over spindle mounting, face mounting, face plate mounting or other requirements.
• Special holders, adapters, internal tools and the like can be manufactured and/or supplied where appropriate.
