Kilian Nanograin Carbide Tool Cutters
These nanograin carbide KL cutters are exceptionally sharp and retain their edge for a remarkably long turning life. The cutters can be rotated 90 degrees to present a fresh sharp edge.
Currently available to fit the KL (1/2") tool bars are: a 15 mm square cutter (KL-0), a slightly rounded 15 mm square cutter (KL-150), and a more rounded 15 mm square cutter (KL-50). KL-0 and KL-50 are also available with a 5° negative rake
The KL line also includes a 16 mm round (KL-R), a negative rake 16 mm (KL-R-NR) and a 20 mm (KL-R2) diameter round cutter.
A diamond shaped detail cutter has also been added to the KL line (KL-D).
All KL cutters are ground with a 30 degree bevel.
It is recommend cutting at, or above centre; otherwise these tools may become too aggressive.
