X700
Coating Type: PVD, TiAlN, X-Grade Technology
This patented high performance premium carbide grade is the
latest in the X-Grade Technology program of coated milling inserts.
It is designed for the toughest of applications in Nickel Based Alloys,
Cobalt Based Alloys, Titanium and Titanium Alloys, as well as
Stainless Steels. It is a combination of a highly durable TiAIN PVD
coating and specially developed carbide substrate that gives an
excellent tool life during long contact times of the cutting edge.
US Patent # 7,244,5129 & EP 01786954B1

SP6519
Coating Type: PVD, TiAlN
The combination of a tough substrate with a new generation of TiAlN
super nano coating, makes this new PVD coating virtually free of
residual stress and extremely hard for unmatched performance.
Primarily used in Stainless Steel, High Temperature Alloys & Titanium
with stable conditions. Also can be used in Steel, Steel Alloys and Cast
Irons.

GH2
Uncoated, Micrograin
Micrograin grade designed for use on Cast Irons, Bronzes, Aluminums,
Kevlar, etc. This grade is tough and able to handle high pressure,
vibration and shock.

SP4019
Coating Type: PVD, TiAlN Micrograin
A hard grade for light roughing and nishing operations with lower
chip sections. Principle applications are in Stainless Steels, High
Temperature Alloys and Cast Irons. Can also be used in Steel, Steel
Alloys and Hardened Steels.

MP91M
Coating Type: CVD, TiN-MT-TiCN-Al2O3
Primarily used on Steel, Steel Alloys and Cast Iron. Can also be used
in Hardened Steels. With its aluminum oxide coating, this grade is
recommended every time wear characteristics are more important than
toughness.

SC6525
Coating Type: CVD, TiN-TiCN-Al2O3
SC6525 has a unique substrate/coating combination, designed
specically for high performance machining of Steel, Steel Alloys
and Cast Irons at elevated surface speeds and feeds.

SC3025
Coating Type: CVD, TiN - TiCN - Al2O3
A high performance milling grade with multi-layer CVD coating
designed to offer wear and abrasion resistance in Cast Iron materials.

GH1
Uncoated, Micrograin
This micrograin grade is designed for use on Cast Irons, and also
Bronzes, Aluminums, Kevlar, etc. The grade GH1 works well with or
without coolant with low cutting pressure at high speeds due to sharp
cutting edge.

SP1019
Coating Type: PVD, TiAlN, Micrograin
Micrograin carbide substrate with a new generation of TiAlN super
nano coating, makes this PVD grade virtually free of residual stress
and extremely hard for unmatched performance. Ideal for ball nose
cutters at higher surface speeds, or for greater wear resistance. Used
in nish machining, all Alloys.
