P
M
An advanced PVD TiAlN coating over a very deformation-resistant unalloyed carbide
substrate. TN6010 is ideal for fi nishing to general machining of most workpieceK
materials at higher speeds. Excellent for machining most steels, stainless steels, cast
irons, non-ferrous materials, and super alloys under stable conditions. It also performsN
well in machining hardened and short chipping materials.

P
M
An advanced PVD TiAlN-coated grade with a tough, ultra-fi ne-grain unalloyed
substrate. For general-purpose machining of most steels, stainless steels,K

high-temp alloys, titanium, irons, and non-ferrous materials. Speeds may vary N from low to medium and will handle interruptions and high feed rates. S

HC-P25

Uncoated carbide for light and medium machining. For cast iron, all non-ferrous K metals, and non-metals. Also capable of machining hardened materials at low cutting speeds. N S HW-K15
