| Singlecut |
- General purpose tool for cast iron, copper, brass and steels
- Fairly aggressive cutting action, with good material removal rates
- This tool leaves a nice finish on most all materials, but the bite can be demanding on operators
|
| Doublecut |
- For general purpose use including cast iron, copper, brass and steels
- The Doublecut utilizes a cross flute of exactly half the number of standard flutes in a opposing helix
- Sliver size is greatly reduced, as is the operator fatigue from the balanced cutting forces
- Lower RPMs may be utilized with little negative impact on performance
- The decreased load equates to operator's often feeding this tool more aggressively
|
| Alumacut |
- Best for all non-ferrous, non-metallic workpieces like aluminum, zinc, plastic, wood, etc.
- An extremely aggressive cutting action, with little or no chance of plugging these flutes up
|
| Diamondcut |
- Is a finer cut of opposing helixes
- Operating control is very good because the biting action is limited as is the silver size produced from it
- This version tends to be preferred in shops where titanium and other difficult materials (superalloys) are being deburred
- With the teeth being smaller and slightly more fragile as a result, tool life is not usually a matter of import
- Fiberglass tends to cut nicely with Diamondcut
|
| Chipbreaker |
- Another version of the Doublecut, this is a slightly less aggressive tool whose main purpose is to simply interupt the cut
- One single, opposing helix is ground in a spiral around the tool, typically
- Silver size goes down, surface finish goes down marginally, hand control goes up, marginally
