RobbJack XF Series 6-flute 45-degree helix Tuffy grade carbide end mill with AlTiN coating

6 and 8 flute, 45° helix Tuffy grade finishers for titanium, steels, and high-temp alloys — cut titanium up to 75 inches per minute.

  • 6 flute (XF-602, 3/8"–3/4") and 8 flute (XF-802, 3/4"–1") Tuffy grade carbide with 45° helix, AlTiN coated
  • Metric MXF line: MXF-602 in 10–16 mm and MXF-802 in 20–25 mm
  • Corner radius on every tool — .030", .060", .090", .120" by size (metric 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 mm); no sharp-corner version
  • Headline claim from the guide: cut titanium up to 75 inches/minute (1905 mm/minute)
  • Materials: titanium, cast iron, steel, stainless steel, and super alloys up to 40 HRc hardness
  • A dedicated side-milling finisher — applications are side milling, high-performance semi-finishing, and finishing (no slotting rating), run dry, wet, cold air, or spray mist
  • XF finish profiling guidance: about .1 × diameter radial width at 1 × diameter axial depth; see the guide's trochoidal tool paths at robbjack.com/robbjack-tv
  • Optional flats (-FL) on every inch size for high-torque holding; metric tools do not have flats
  • Anti-pull-out h4 shank tolerance — tightest in the industry
  • Tolerances: cutting dia −.001/−.002, shank −.0001/−.0002, flute length +.060/−.000 (MXF: cutting dia −.025/−.050 mm)

From the RobbJack Applications Guide.

Light radial, deep axialGuide engagement diagrams: slotting at 1 × diameter width and .7 × diameter depth, XG-502 profiling at .5 × diameter radial by 1.5 × diameter axial, and XF finish profiling at just .1 × diameter radial engagement over a full diameter of depth — the multi-flute finishing recipe.

About this series

XF / MXF Tuffy Grade Carbide End Mills

The highest performing tool in steel, stainless & other difficult alloys

The XF Series is a high-flute-count (6 and 8 flute) Tuffy Grade carbide end mill with a 45 degree helix for finishing in steel, stainless and difficult alloys. AlTiN coated, offered as XF-602 (6 flute) and XF-802 (8 flute) and metric MXF equivalents. Anti-pullout shank technology delivers h4 shank tolerance, the tightest in the industry, to eliminate tool pull-out. RobbJack reports up to 15X the life of comparable tools, the ability to cut titanium up to 75 inches/minute (1905 mm/minute), and 304 SS slotting & profiling at 400 sfm / 24 ipm.

  • 6 flute (XF-602) and 8 flute (XF-802) configurations
  • 45 degree helix, square end with corner radius
  • AlTiN coated
  • Anti-pullout shank technology, h4 shank tolerance (tightest in the industry)
  • Available with flats (add -FL); metric MXF tools do not have flats
  • Supports trochoidal tool paths
  • Inch (XF) and metric (MXF) sizes

Titanium, cast iron, steel, stainless steel and super alloys up to 40 HRc hardness. Applications: side milling, high-performance semi-finishing and finishing (dry, wet, cold air or spray mist).
