High Performance
- Designed for extreme productivity
- Gain 20% or more in productivity over four flute styles
- Smooth cutting action to eliminate vibration
- For machining steels, cast iron, hardened steels, high temp alloys and stainless steels
- Whisper blend transition between OD and neck
- Reduced vibration harmonics
- Improved part finishes
- Maintains cutting edge strength and sharpness for improved tool life
- Slotting at 1X Dia deep
- ALtima® is the original high performance coating
- This coating allows tools to be run at higher speeds and feeds in a wide array of materials
- Also, it allows the option of running tools dry due to the high oxidation temperature of the coating
- Uniquely designed heli-pitch grinding geometry promotes continual, vibration free cutting regardless of depth of cut or width of cut
