Mechanical Tooling Finished cutting geometry
Finished Diamond Tools
Choose a finished cutting geometry instead of an unfinished blank.
Good to know
- The cutting edge and holder need to be specified together.
- Workpiece material and machining conditions influence tool selection.
- The required component finish helps define edge geometry and inspection.
