High-feed machining pairs shallow axial depths of cut with accelerated table feed rates for increased metal removal. In addition, cutting forces are directed axially into the spindle, thereby stabilising the operation, minimising vibration and lessening wear on the machine tool.

The end mill also features an ultrafine carbide grade and a monolayer Tiain coating, which insulates the cutter and transfers heat into the chips. The coating helps lower operating costs by eliminating the need for coolant in high-temperature situations.

Cutting diameters for the 4-flute JHF980 range from 2 mm to 6 mm, while the 5-flute version spans 8 mm to 12 mm. Both cutters are available in 1.5xD, 5xD and 7xD lengths.
