HSS Hire Reviews

less expensive than carbide tools

hold a sharper edge

easier sharpening

shaped into more complex and unique cutting edges

cut materials that carbide tools cannot

allow for higher speed cutting, which can reduce production cycle times

wear out much faster than carbide

need to be replaced more often since they can only be sharpened a few times before losing stability

less effective on high hardness alloys

Frequent tool changes due to lower durability can negatively impact production output

produce lower quality surface finishes compared to carbide
