  The advantages of Powder Metal


The advantages of PM HSS steel as compared to conventional HSS steel are many-sided

  • PM has better toughness and is prone to less chipping than conventional HSS steel because
    it has small and uniformly distributed particles.
  • Greater consistency in multi-spindle machines, where a single cutter failure affects several spindles
  • PM technology enhances grind ability with no reduction in wear resistance of the tool
  • Unlike carbide, PM has high removal rates by taking heavy depths of cut and chip loads
  • Availability of higher alloy grades that can not be produced in conventional HSS
  • Much more consistent tool performance will increase productivity by reducing machining time.

    Powder Metal (PM) is perfectly suited for a wide variety of milling applications, not excluding operations with high temperature and exotics alloys. Precision Cutting Tools is the leading manufacturer in a wide range of powder metal end mills and have become the tool of choice for the most demanding applications.

PM4 provides outstanding productivity for Milling Aluminum. PM 4 has high vanadium content, which provides excellent chip evacuation, ideal for heavy stock removal on high speed machining. Compared to conventional HSS steel series PM4 (Powder Metal) offers a much longer extended tool life, reduces machining time and brings down overall costs. Click to view product details

PM30 & PM60 are our premium range of powder metal end mills. PM 30 has 8% cobalt which is T15 improved. PM 60 has 10.5 % cobalt and both are ideal for machining Titanium, Stainless Steel, Heat Treated Steel, Invar, Inconel and high temperature alloys. PM30 & PM60 are preferred above conventional HSS because of better wear resistance, ability to take heavy depths of cut, faster machining time and they are not brittle like carbides.
