Trochoidal milling, also known as adaptive clearing or highefficiency machining (HEM), is a sophisticated CNC milling path strategy. Unlike conventional milling that uses the full tool width at a constant depth, trochoidal milling employs a continuous, circular tool path with a small radial engagement and a large axial depth of cut. The tool is constantly moving, tracing a trochoidal curve, which minimizes the heat and pressure on the cutting tool.

The benefits of this method are substantial and directly impact the success of your projects:

Increased Tool Life: By drastically reducing the radial engagement, the cutter experiences lower temperatures and less wear. This extends tool life significantly, reducing machine downtime for tool changes and lowering consumable costs.
Higher Material Removal Rates (MRR): The combination of light radial cuts and fulldepth axial cuts allows the machine to run at much higher feed rates. This results in faster material removal, slashing machining time and boosting overall shop floor throughput.
Improved Part Quality and Capability: The consistent, lightcutting action minimizes vibration and deflection, leading to superior surface finishes and tighter tolerances. Furthermore, it enables the effective machining of difficulttocut materials like titanium and Inconel, as well as allowing for the use of longer, more slender tools for deep pocketing—a common challenge in complex components.
