Need Help!- Adjustable angle live tooling for Multiplex 6300Y

[TommyK]

Just wanted to know if anyone has used them and can you take a deep cut (.25) with them or more like (.05) each pass. Would love to buy one used and give it a try any info would be great. Thanks for the help guys.

The nature of the drive train and spindle bearings make this tool less capable than a typical milling head. All the stuff that makes the driven tool block robust is less for angle adjustable. I would consider it for light milling only. It's better suited for drilling.

my opinion only.

Don't have Miltiplex but did have it on SQT and it's depend what you want to do with it. I don't think it mean to cut some exotic material, the cutter drive by gear and the ball bear is not like normal milling by said that I didn't said it won't cutter, you will have hard time to push it through. Don't be disappointing yet, depend what your company mostly doing. If most of the job you have in house that invole sometype of angle pocket, drill or tap etc. It's definite worth it to look into, it will save you second setup opertion and since you are doing everything in one setup the deviation will be reduce. In short said with common material, it will be great.

Con, the dam unit itself is too expensive. 7 of those tools can buy a new HAAS milling.

Addition, you need a nice CAD/CAM to program it is recommend.
