Benefits & Use Cases
-
Versatile Across Materials
Effective for chamfering or countersinking in steel, aluminum, cast iron, titanium, wood, and plastics — making it useful in general machining and finishing tasks. -
High Wear Resistance
The TiAlN coating adds oxidation resistance and extended tool life under high heat or abrasive conditions. -
Single-Flute Efficiency
Offers a clean surface finish with minimal chatter. The design helps evacuate chips effectively in soft materials. -
Compact & Precise
Small diameter and short length make it ideal for tight or restricted worksites or precision parts.
Usage & Best Practices
-
Use Appropriate Speeds & Feeds
Moderate speeds with light feed is ideal due to the tool’s small size and coating. -
Maintain Rigidity
Use a rigid tool holder and minimize overhang to reduce vibration. -
Lubrication / Cooling
Use coolant or lubricants in metal work to extend tool life and reduce heat build-up. -
Debris Clearance
Clear chips frequently to avoid clogging the single flute. -
Inspect for Wear
Periodically check cutting edge and coating degradation; replace when performance drops.
