In tool and die production in particular, hard machining is playing an increasingly important role by replacing time-consuming processes such as grinding and eroding. But in other industries too, components still need to be machined after hardening, which presents enormous challenges for drilling and milling tools. We have identified the needs of our customers and have created a highly specialised range of tools for all conceivable applications. These tools are the ideal solution for steel machining in the maximum hardness range and guarantee maximum time savings with their strong performance characteristics.

The professional tool for trochoidal rough machining in hardened material applications
The CircularLine – CCR – H is the latest development of our tried-and-tested trochoidal milling cutter from the CircularLine series and is the ideal tool for machining hardened materials. The ultra-fine grain substrate tailored specifically to hard machining, the latest Dragonskin coating technology, the optimised cutting edge geometry and a new chip breaker make the CircularLine – CCR – H the ultimate tool for hard milling operations up to 70 HRC.
New chip breaker
Special geometry for machining hardened steels to minimise wear on the chip breaker.
The latest Dragonskin coating technology DPX62S features high hot hardness and oxidation resistance of up to 800 °C. The titanium aluminium nitride-based broadband coating has been specially developed for the machining of hardened steels and boasts an optimised coating and surface structure.
The perfectionist in finish machining
For many tool and die production companies, time-consuming eroding has been the only option to date for achieving high-quality surfaces on workpieces with a hardness exceeding 55 HRC. This is now a thing of the past, as we are offering the perfect alternative with the MonsterMill – HCR. The MonsterMill – HCR is ideal for finish machining and is the optimal tool for hardnesses up to 70 HRC. Its stable cutting edge geometry in combination with the polished cutting edge section ensure flawless component surfaces and optimum contour accuracy with long tool life.
The latest Dragonskin coating technology DPX62U features high hot hardness and oxidation resistance of up to 1150°C. The titanium aluminium nitride-based broadband coating has been specially developed for the machining of hardened steels and boasts an optimised coating and surface structure. The ultra-fine grain substrate combined with the coating enables economical hard machining up to 70 HRC.
The perfect combination of cutting edge geometry, Dragonskin coating and substrate make the WTX – H the ideal solution for difficult-to-machine materials. It can also be used for the machining of steels and cast iron. The extremely stable drilling tool with thro' coolant is suitable for hardened materials up to 58 HRC and, with the new titanium aluminium nitride-based monolayer coating, guarantees long tool lives and maximum process security.
With an extremely stable, convex cutting edge and ultra-fine grain substrate specifically tailored to hard machining in combination with the latest Dragonskin coating technology, the WTX – H is the specialist for hard drilling operations. The extremely stable and wear-resistant drilling tool enables the machining of hardened steels up to 70 HRC. The new titanium aluminium nitride-based monolayer coating makes the WTX – H particularly heat-resistant and guarantees long tool life and maximum process security.
The multitool for drilling, countersinking and threading
Eliminate the need for time-consuming erosion operations when producing a thread in a hardened component with the BGF – Type H circular thread milling cutter. Threads with a depth of up to 2xD can be produced using the through and blind hole thread multitool – and with maximum process security. The left-hand cutting tool not only saves considerable time that would be required for eroding, but also avoids additional costs. The BGF – Type H is therefore the economical, productive solution for thread production in hardened and difficult-to-machine materials.
In thread milling, there are two different ways to program the feed of the tool:
on the one hand you have the periphery feed and on the other the tool centre feed. To ascertain which programmable feed the machine requires, you have the following options:
If the time required is longer than the calculated time, the machine requires the tool centre feed.
If the time required is shorter than the calculated time, the machine requires the periphery feed.
