High speed steel special cutting tools: Their design and application
Abstract
The design characteristics of special high speed steel (HSS) tools used in the hole making and milling areas of metal machining are presented, together with a brief discussion on the versatility offered by the tool material itself. The influence of component and cutter material on cutter life is covered, as are the characteristics of the popular grades of high speed steel in relation to this important factor in production costs. Attention is also given to the resharpening of special cutters, and to the factors influencing the availability and the cost of HSS specials.
