Solid carbide provides better rigidity than high speed steel. It is extremely heat resistant and used for high speed applications on cast iron, nonferrous materials, plastics and other tough-to-machine materials.
- Aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN) is one of the most abrasive resistant and hardest coatings
- Right hand center cutting
It is commonly used for machining aircraft and aerospace material, nickel alloys, stainless steel, titanium, cast iron and carbon steel.
Center Cutting tools have one or more cutting edges at the tip and are used in a variety of applications including plunging, drilling or ramping.
