Overview

• High Speed Steel (HSS) provides good wear resistance and can be used in general purpose applications for both ferrous and nonferrous materials.
• Plug chamfers are the most commonly used chamfer and are designed for efficiently threading through and blind holes. They have 3 to 5 threads.
• Titanium Nitride (TiN) is a multi-purpose coating which increases chip flow in softer materials. The heat and hardness resistance allows the tool to run at higher speeds than uncoated tools.
