M30 – M40 P20 – P35 Milling grade with extraordinary service reliability. Especially suitable for machining of M6330 M20 – M35 PVD +/- hard to machine materials. Powerful in applications where unfavourable conditions and H heavy cuts dominate. S20 – S30 P01 – P10 submicron H K01 – K10 The most wear resistant grade for mold & die applications. Offers exceptional M4303 ultra PVD - performance at high cutting speeds and low feeds in stable cutting conditions. Suitable N01 – N10 for finishing operations in difficult workpiece materials. H01 – H10 P05 – P15 M05 – M15 submicron H Universal grade for mold & die applications. Suitable for finishing as well as semi- M4310 ultra K05 – K15 PVD - roughing operations. This grade combines high wear resistance with extraordinary operational reliability. S05 – S10 H05 – H15 P01 – P10 M01 – M10 submicron H Milling grade with excellent wear resistance. Most suitable in a machining of hard and 2003 ultra K01 – K10 PVD - high strength materials under stable cutting conditions and moderate/higher cutting speeds. Suitable for cutting other workpiece group materials except non-ferrous metals. S05 – S10 H05 – H15 submicron H Submicron grade for milling non-ferrous metals and their alloys with a balanced ratio M0315 N05 – N25 PVD - of wear resistance and toughness. It is provided with a unique coating with excellent friction properties. Uncoated milling grade with excellent resistance to erosion of the cutting face. It is S26 P15 – P30 – ++ S intended solely for machining carbon and alloy steels at low cutting speeds. Uncoated, tough cutting grade suitable for machining applications where low cutting S45 P30 – P45 – ++ S speed and unfavourable cutting conditions dominate M10 – M20 submicron H Uncoated grade which is primarily designed for machining non-ferrous metals; can also HF7 K10 – K25 – ++ be used for other machined materials (except steel). This grade can be used in turning, milling, and even boring. N10 – N25 326
