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. P20 – P40 Special grade for heavy duty. The main application area of this grade is machining all kinds of steels (including stainless) in the „soft state“. It can also be used for machining M8326 PVD - H softer cast irons. Suitable for M15 – M30 machining at medium speeds under average M15 – M30 cutting conditions. P30 – P50 Special grade for heavy duty. This grade has exceptional operational reliability and is M8346 PVD - H designed for heavy cuts in unfavourable conditions in difficult and tough materials. M30 – M40 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 766
