> MINIATURIZATION
For ever MAGAFOR has choosen to manufacture small tools at the feasabillity limit.Naturally its production programme has shown a trend towards the micro-tools :
Year 1970 1990 2000 2006
∅ end-mills 0.50 0.30 0.10 0.05
∅ reamerss 0.80 0.70 0.60 0.20

No doubt, these limits will be overpassed, soon.

> PRODUCTIVITY
The multi-purpose concept is one of the recent major evolution for the machining operations. With its multi-function tools and tools for combined machinings,MAGAFOR emphasizes this evolution. These new concepts reduce the machining times and the number and set-up of the tools.
 
> PRECISION-FINISH
The miniaturization and the market requirements to be directed towards the perfection, have incited us to stock extensive series of standard items and an unrivalled range of types, forms, materials or coatings.
For instance :
 
• Reamers diameters 0.200 to 0.595 tolerance ± 0.001 with 0.005 increments. Then from 0.60 to 20.05 per 0.01.
 
• End-mills diameters 0.05 to 14.00 with 0.01/0.05 or 0.10 mm increments.
 
> RESEARCH-STUDIES
Permanently searchs and tests are achieved for the improvments of our tools. Also MAGAFOR shares to french or european projects about the new technologies and the material machinings evolution.
 
MAGAFOR is the only tool manufacturer of this european commission for the study of micro-machinings. This research aims to the improvement of the tool performance for the greatest profit of our customers.
