High-speed steel tools designed for general purpose cutting - Material and wear resistance: High-speed steel provides a balanced combination of hardness and toughness for reliable wear resistance in everyday machining tasks. - Finish option: Available with a ground finish for precise edges and accurate dimensions. - Compatibility and flexibility: Round shanks ensure broad compatibility with a wide range of toolholding systems, enabling versatile mounting on different machines. - Chip control: When run in a counterclockwise direction (right-hand cut), spiral fluted tools evacuate chips up and out of the cut to reduce clogging and improve cutting efficiency. - Performance characteristics: Durable HSS construction maintains sharpness under typical general machining conditions, supporting longer tool life in routine applications. 2-3 practical use scenarios - General milling tasks on CNC or manual machines: execute slots, pockets, and contours in common materials such as aluminum, mild steel, or plastics with reliable wear resistance and edge retention. - Finishing passes: perform light finishing cuts to improve surface quality while preserving tool life due to the hardy HSS composition. - Versatile mounting across equipment: leverage the round shank design to fit multiple toolholding systems, reducing the need for multiple tool types and simplifying setup.
