Non-ferrous material machining ｜ Carbide grade for Swiss CNC lathes
Tool cost advantages over PCD inserts
Perfect match for non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, brass, and plastics
Achieves excellent machined surface by suppressing the built-up edge
The overwhelming sharpness solves the problem of rough machined surface
Features
- Uncoated fine grain carbide precision ground and extremely sharp edge
- Polished mirror finish which eliminates built up edge
Stable workpiece dimensions and smooth machined surface
Tooling application
Non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, brass, copper, and plastics
Front turning / Back turning / Grooving / Cut off / Threading

| KM1 | 300 pcs and more |
| Competitor’s PVD coated carbide | 200 pcs |
Competitor's product performed 3 rough grooving passes and 1 finishing pass but inserts were chipped and worn.
The total cycle time took over 3 minutes. KM1 performed operation in 1 pass with a cycle time of 1 minute and 50 seconds.
