D-Power Milling Cutters
First choice for high performance machining of graphite
Diamond coating has high lubricity and low coefficient of friction which prevents the tool from fast wear, common in abrasive material machining.

D-Power
Corner Radius
Features extended or tapered neck for deep pocket graphite & abrasive machining
D-Power
Ball Nose
Features extended or tapered neck for deep pocket graphite & abrasive machining
Advantages
High Speed Machining
Extreme hardness means cutters can be pushed harder and for longer
Wear Resistance
Diamond coating means cutter can withstand increased forces common in abrasive machining
Number 1 for Graphite
Also suitable for abrasive aluminium, plastic, brass, copper and composites
Features
Diamond Coating
Ultrafine coating ensures smooth and excellent surface finish on graphite
High Accuracy
Micrograin carbide substrate and special coating give reliable performance and finish
Self Lubrication
Self-lubrication in dry wear conditions extends tool life and helps dissipate heat
Built to Handle High Speed
Cutting Without Buildup
