Hollow Milling
Landis® hollow milling cutters offer an easy, economical method to use our die heads to turn, groove, form, point, and face. Hollow milling cutters are similar to chasers, except they have a cutting profile instead of a threading profile. They can be used with virtually any type of revolving or stationary head.

- They have the same mounting configuration and come in the same physical size as chasers.
- Achieve feed rates nearly equal to a single-point tool, "multiplied by the number of hollow milling tools." The number of cutters in a set will vary from four to eight, depending on the style and model of the head. When using a Landis machine with lead screw for hollow milling, 32 pitch gearing is generally used.
- Enables one spindle to hollow mill to a given diameter, and the second spindle to thread it.
- Offers the same tool efficiency and economy as a Landis chaser. Cutters are usable for 80% of their original length. Only the rake angle requires regrinding.
- Tools can be uniformly advanced or retracted relative to the workpiece centerline to determine the cutting clearance that gives best machining results.
