Time and process reliability are critical factors for economic success in machining. The Quadworx® XL indexable insert milling cutter was developed by Pokolm precisely for this purpose: It combines “feed rate squared” with cost-effectiveness that sets new standards in this class. Whether in mold and die or general manufacturing – Quadworx® XL is the answer to the demand for higher material removal rates while simultaneously reducing workpiece costs.

Maximum cost-effectiveness and extremely high removal rates
Quadworx® XL processes 1.2379
Top performance thanks to innovative geometry
Quadworx® XL is characterized by high material removal rates combined with a very smooth cut. A particular highlight of the XL version is its flexibility: With a 90° insert, the system can be converted in no time from a high-feed milling cutter into a high-performance shoulder and slotting cutter.
The embedded insert seats ensure maximum process reliability. These guarantee secure positioning of the indexable inserts, which is particularly advantageous during interrupted cuts. An integrated internal coolant supply (ICS) supports reliable chip evacuation, even when machining deep cavities. With four usable cutting edges per insert and a special geometry, the tool achieves impressive surface finishes even during roughing.
The universal all-rounder for high-feed milling
The Quadworx® XL high-feed milling cutter reliably machines demanding materials such as cold-work steel 1.2379 and handles a variety of challenges with ease.
