With the requirement for ultra large diameter broaching fast increasing, HMT have launched the 'CarbideMax-XL' range of Tungsten Carbide Tipped cutters from 61 right up to 150mm diameter with 55mm cutting depth as standard. These high quality TCT cutters have a reinforced 32mm diameter shank to withstand the high levels of torque generated.
One of the hardest materials used for cutting tools, Tungsten Carbide, is capable of drilling through the toughest steels. HMT CarbideMax TCT Broach cutters are tipped with individually brazed cutting teeth of the highest quality tungsten 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 the thinner wall means less metal is removed, giving a faster cut.
