How MSC MillMax® Works

Tap test infographic

Every milling tool assembly vibrates at a unique frequency.

MSC MillMax® analyzes and records those frequencies.

Our metalworking specialists then work with you to interpret the data and provide everything you’ll need for optimal performance:

  • The precise stable speed
  • Feed rate
  • Width and depth of cut
