Machining steel, the most common material used

Whilst relatively easy to cut, understanding the machine capabilities allows us to select the correct tools / strategies for our customers. Cutting surface speeds will reduce as the material changes to higher alloy content and understanding this is key to grade/geometry selection

Please note all the above is dictated by the machine capabilities, work holding and tool holding limitations. All these factors must be taken into account before selecting any tooling solution and recommending cutting data.
