OptiMill®-Uni-HPC
New generation for maximum process reliability
MAPAL presents the third generation of the solid carbide milling cutter OptiMill-Uni-HPC -optimised for automated manufacturing and high cutting performance.
La nuova OptiMill-Uni-HPC per la lavorazione di acciaio, acciaio inossidabile e ghisa è stata sviluppata appositamente per i processi automatizzati e soddisfa i più elevati requisiti in termini di sicurezza dei processi, stabilità e resistenza all’usura.
The newly developed cutting material has a high ductility, reducing the risk of tool breakage.
Combined with wear-resistant coatings and optimised geometry, this results in a tool that’s ultra-reliable, even in dynamic machining.

A version with an integrated chip breaker is a new addition to the OptiMill-Uni-HPC range. It
creates short chips that are easy to remove – offering clear benefits for air cooling and high
cutting performance and enabling high infeed depths.

The result: Longer machine running times, lower monitoring efforts and higher process reliability – ideal for unmanned shifts and automated workflows.
From September 2025, the milling cutter is available in three versions:
- Short without chip breaker (ø 3–20 mm)
- Long without chip breaker (ø 3–25 mm)
- Long with chip breaker (ø 6–25 mm)
This sees MAPAL draw on the targeted development of a tried-and-tested concept – for more
efficiency, process reliability and versatility in modern machining.
