American Carbide Tool BL-6 K21 Brazed Bit - BL, 3/8 x 2-1/2 inch, Steel

Description

In general, a larger tip radius will produce a better surface finish and permit a faster feed rate than a smaller tip radius. The tool has a positive, 6-degree rake angle that provides a sharp edge. The tool has a Kennametal K21 grade uncoated carbide tip, which provides good resistance to shock and wear for machining on steel and steel alloys. The tip is brazed to a square steel shank that fits square toolholders. Rake angles are the degree of inclination of the face toward or away from the cutting edge. They come in multiple geometry styles for cutting different shapes and are identified by a lettering standard that conforms to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B212.1 specifications. They may be positive for sharp, continuous cuts, negative for heavy, interrupted cuts, or neutral for a true 90-degree cut. American Carbide Tool manufactures standard single-point brazed carbide-tipped tools, and precision ground cutting tools and inserts. The tip, or nose, of the tool performs the finish cut on the workpiece. Carbide is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life. The BL-style tool shape has a lead angle that distributes the cutting load for interrupted or irregular cuts and gradual entrance to the workpiece, and a left-hand cutting direction for left-to-right feed. These single-point tools have a cutting edge at one end that is a carbide tip brazed to a steel shaft.
