A chipformer for use at low feeds. Recommended for Cr-Ni alloys and low carbon steel, especially in the bearing industry and on similar, problematic materials. The tight chipformer ensures short, deformed chips. A tough submicron grain size substrate with a PVD coating, recommended for general use for diverse operations on materials such as steels, alloy steels, austenitic stainless steel and high temperature alloys at a wide range of cutting speeds. Features high wear resistance and chipping durability.
