Material suitability and practical guidance Engineered for robust performance, the cutter shows very good suitability for steel, stainless steel (INOX) and cast iron, with conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals and special alloys; it is specified for materials up to approximately 1000 N/mm² tensile strength. For best results, select conservative feeds when cutting harder alloys and employ adequate coolant or high‑pressure coolant where permissible to extend tool life. The tool’s centre‑cutting characteristic also allows cautious plunge milling when required by the application.
