DIA® PERFORMANCE roughing cutter D 5mm, B 17 mm

DIA® PERFORMANCE roughing cutter - right-hand twist, Z=3

Roughing cutter with three spiral fluted solid carbide cutting edges with roughing teeth. Basic and peripheral cutting, cylindrical throughout. Right-hand rotation/right-hand twist. Mechanical feed. 

Suitable for pre-milling and cutting solid wood and panel materials. With good workpiece clamping, the good side of the workpiece is at the bottom. Optimum chip removal upwards. 

DIA® PERFORMANCE - Innovation:

• An innovative, friction-avoiding, high-performance diamond coating.
• After lapping the flutes and/or cutting edges, a DIA® PERFORMANCE coating (Diamond-like Carbon) of less than 1 micron (0.001 mm) is applied.
