Applications

This variant demonstrates its full potential during contouring and profile turning of complex stainless steel components. Whether operating under smooth continuous cuts or facing the demanding realities of heavily interrupted cuts, this machining solution consistently supports efficient workflows in both batch production and single-part manufacturing.

Special features

A key feature of the RT255M grade is the balanced combination of a tough M20-M30 carbide substrate with a modern PVD coating. This provides flexible application possibilities even under fluctuating mechanical loads. Furthermore, the available corner radii ranging from 0.4 mm to 1.2 mm cover a broad spectrum of roughing and medium-turning requirements, allowing users to adapt flexibly to varying component specifications.
