Overview

• Cobalt is harder than high speed steel and provides better wear resistance
• It is commonly used on high tensile alloys
• Non-Center Cutting applications have peripheral teeth allowing for the user to side (radial) cut or contour an exterior surface
• Used in applications where plunge cutting is not necessary
• Uncoated tools do not feature supportive treatments on the cutting edge
• They are used at reduced speeds for general applications on nonferrous metals.
