Holemaking Inserts Boost Drilling Productivity

With a multi-layered PVD TiN-TiAlN coating and a tough substrate, the KCU40 grade withstands interruptions and provides high wear resistance, the company says. This results in increased tool life at equivalent material removal rates compared to standard inserts.
