Tungsten Carbide is one of the hardest materials used for cutting tools, it is capable of drilling through the toughest steels. HMT CarbideMax TCT Broach cutters are tipped with individually brazed cutting teeth of the highest quality carbide. They are designed with an elaborate cutting geometry which results in faster, quieter, easier drilling and chatter free performance. Furthermore, because the teeth of the cutter are doing all of the hard work, less strain is put on the wall of the cutter. Therefore a thinner wall thickness is required meaning less material is removed resulting in a substantially faster cut.
