Although this cutting-edge tool was met with initial
scepticism, it's performance in the field ensured
both early and continued success, so much so
various tool manufacturers built their own systems.
Originally, the MULTI-MASTER was intended
mainly for the die and mold industry, however,
due to its performance advantages, versatility and
operating convenience, experience has shown that
the MULTI-MASTER application field is much
wider; today many different industrial branches
make effective use of the ingenious system.
Milling shoulders, chamfers, profile surfaces, slots
and grooves, faces and threads, rough sculpturing
by plunge-in milling, center and spot drilling,
countersinking–the Multi-Master covers all of these
applications - and more!
