Carbon steel / Alloy steel machining ｜ Carbide grade for Swiss CNC lathes
Amazing wear resistance, fracture resistance for wide speed range. Stable machining in demanding applications.
Long tool life and stable machining of carbon steel (like S45C) and alloy steel
Excellent toughness and stability
Features
- Superior fracture resistance due to the tough base material and a special TiCN coating
- Resists wear even in low speed range
- Stable performance through interruptions
Tooling application
For Carbon steel and Alloy steel
Front turning / Back turning / Grooving / ID boring / Threading / Cut off
