Cylindrical Land

Increased performance in a variety of cutting conditions with reduced vibration

Symmetrical Shape

Highly effective in vertical ramping up to 20 degrees and step-over plunging applications

Unique Flute Design

Effective chip evacuation at high feed rates with lower cutting forces

Speed. Strength. Sharpness.

Alu-Power HPC keeps its edge under tough conditions.
