Why buy High Performance Hardened Steel Milling Cutters?

Tool selection is extremely important when machining hardened steel and there are several factors you need to consider, with one of them being the large amounts of heat produced when machining harder materials. This is why our range of hardened steel milling cutters are designed to combat these types of issues and takes the worry out of hardened steel machining. For expert information and advice on hardened steel milling you can check out our blog here which covers all you need to know.

Our range of hardened steel milling cutters feature high quality advanced substrates which are required to withstand a harder-wearing material like hardened steel. They also feature advanced coatings that are capable of withstanding the high temperatures produced during hardened steel milling. These characteristics help take the fear out of hardened steel machining and ensure you are machining with the best performance and tool life possible.

How to choose the right High Performance Hardened Steel Milling Cutter?

Hardened Steel can be one of the most difficult materials to machine, purely down to the fact that if tool selection isn’t correct, then your tools can wear our burn out extremely quickly. This is why our dedicated range is available to help you get the best performance and tool life possible. Please see a summary below of our milling cutters dedicated to hardened steel machining

X5070 Blue - YG-1’s nanograin carbide range are dedicated for dry machining the hardest of steels up to 70 rockwell. The unique blue coating offers Incredible tool life due to withstanding temperatures up to 1,400° and they are also suitable for extreme cutting speeds with high abrasion resistance. This means nothing cuts hardened steel <70HRc faster or longer than the X5070 blue milling cutters. There are plenty of options included such as diameters from just 0.01mm and a range of geometries including sharp corner, ball nose, corner radius, high feed and long reach cutters
