• High-efficiency machining

• Perfect balance of wear resistance, toughness, and chipping resistance, high-efficiency machining, and a long tool life are achieved with the newly developed high-alloy HSS, TiAIN-based AG coating made with a new process, and optimum end mill design

• Stable machining tool life

• Adopts a fine pitch nick to minimize cutting resistance
• Delivers stable performance in heavy-cutting, pre-finish grooving and side milling.

Achieves wear resistance, toughness, and chipping resistance
