Overview

• Center Cutting tools have one or more cutting edges at the tip and are used in a variety of applications including plunging, drilling or ramping.
• High speed steel (HSS) provides good wear resistance. It is commonly used for general purpose applications on both ferrous and nonferrous materials.
• Spiral flutes are constructed of a high flute angle to remove chips more easily.
• 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.
