Sphericut for 3D machining – reliable processes for roughing, finishing and fine finishing
Sphericut brings process reliability and speed to 3D machining – in high-strength and hardened steels up to 60 HRC, stainless steels and titanium alloys.
These materials are demanding, causing abrasive wear, cutting edge chipping (hardened steels), and work hardening with a tendency to build-up (stainless steels) and often with low thermal conductivity (titanium).
This is exactly what Sphericut was developed for. The coordinated combination of tool geometry, carbide substrate HM XT and X-AL coating delivers long tool life and maximum process reliability – from roughing and finishing to fine finishing.
The active cross-cutting edge and the extremely stable core enable reliable HSC strategies and safe machining of complex geometries as well as smooth processes and consistently high-quality surfaces.
For a fast, reliable start, FRAISA ToolExpert® supports the application directly: Optimized and plug-and-play cutting data can be determined for every strategy and every material, even in semi-autonomous or fully autonomous production.
The result: shorter machining times, reproducible surface qualities, reduced burr formation and high dimensional and shape accuracy, which are ideal for the demanding component geometries in tool and mold making.

Perfect application data in the FRAISA ToolExpert®
Active cross-cutting edge – stable in the center, providing high surface quality
The tool center is the most critical zone in 3D machining, where the effective cutting speed drops to almost zero. Conventional ball nose end mills tend to break out in the center.
Sphericut starts right there. An active cross-cutting edge and stable center geometry effectively prevent center breakouts. The process is calm and controlled – right from the start. This reduces micro chipping and ensures even surfaces, especially in flat areas and transitions where the tool center inevitably comes into contact.
Chip formation also remains stable: the stable face geometry supports 3D roughing and finishing and ensures reliable chip formation, even in challenging materials. At the same time, the active cross-cutting edge smooths the surface and stabilizes the tool center.

Perfect results in the component – low-vibration processes and reproducible free-form surfaces
The active cross-cutting edge shows its strengths when the tool center is frequently engaged – for example when roughing and finishing floor areas.
The result: high-quality surface finishes, especially on floor surfaces – even in high-strength, hardened or adhesive materials.
The component shown here demonstrates how evenly free-form surfaces can be machined and how stable the process remains even in complex geometries.
For a quick, safe start, FRAISA ToolExpert® supplies the appropriate cutting data: developed in numerous tests and validated for various applications – for fast and safe implementation, even in autonomous operation.
