The 2KMB round tool product can be used for the fine machining of precision parts and metallic molds, the company said.
It features Kyocera’s new Megacoat Hard Ex wear-resistant coating which features a two-layer structure to make processing more stable with high toughness and improved chipping resistance, and supports quenched hardened steel processing from tempered steel up to 70 HRC. It also has a unique S-shaped cutting edge with improved sharpness and a wide core thickness that increases tool rigidity, preventing collapse and ensures stable processing., according to the company.
Point cutting (strong back taper) reduces collapse and prevents chattering, and the cutting-edge shape gradually changes rake angle and clearance angle, compatible with high blade edge strength and low resistance, Kyocera said.
