HT 900
Short Description
Every toolroom has a few bits that get picked up again and again, and the HT 900 is built to be one of them. It is a solid square-section high-speed steel blank, hardened and ground so it can be shaped into whatever cutting edge a job demands. Turners use it for everyday facing and turning work, while toolmakers grind it into custom profiles for parting, grooving, and form cutting. Nothing about it is complicated. It is a straightforward bar of steel that holds its edge and takes regrinding well, which is really all a good tool bit needs to do.
- Material: made from high-speed steel (HSS), a tool steel known for holding hardness at cutting temperatures.
- Common grades: typically produced in grades such as M2, giving a good balance of toughness and wear resistance.
- Hardness: generally falls between 62 and 66 HRC after heat treatment.
- Shape: straight square cross-section bar, sold as blanks ready for grinding.
- Size range: offered in a range of inch and metric square sizes to suit different tool holders.
- End finish: ground with a standard bevel angle so the bit is ready for shaping into the required cutting geometry.
- Tolerance: held to a close square tolerance for a stable fit in the tool holder.
