Features excellent surface finish, high wear resistance, plastic deformation durability and prevents built-up edge. Base A very hard-uncoated carbide grade, suitable for machining IC4 aluminum alloys, aluminum alloys with high silicon content and N01-N15 other non-ferrous materials at high cutting speeds. S05-S15 Base M10-M20 A hard-uncoated submicron carbide grade, suitable for IC07 machining aluminum alloys and other non-ferrous materials N05-N20 at high cutting speeds. S10-S25 UNCOATED Base M15-M30 A tough uncoated submicron carbide grade, suitable for steels, IC08 stainless steel and high temperature alloys at low cutting speeds. N10-N25 Good choice for non-ferrous materials. S20-S30 Base A hard-uncoated carbide grade for machining aluminum and K10-K20 other non-ferrous materials at medium to high cutting speeds. IC20 Can be used for cast iron at low cutting speeds. N05-N25 Suitable also for machining high temperature and Titanium alloys, TEXT S10-S20 at low cutting speeds. H10-H20 Base Extra fine PCBN grain size. Suitable for high speed machining of IB10H hardened steels (45-65 HRC) under stable conditions. H10 Base A combination of coarse and fine PCBN grain, suitable for general CBN IB20H and interrupted cutting of hardened steels. H20 Base K01-K10 A PCBN grade, suitable for finish turning and grooving operations IB50 on hardened steels 45-65 HRC and nodular cast iron in continuous cutting. H01-H10 Base A PCD brazed tip, suitable for machining aluminum alloys (Si < 12%) and other non-ferrous materials. Features very high PCD ID5 wear resistance with high toughness. Suitable for finishing N01-N10 operations and can be used for semi roughning operations and interrupted cut.
