Our high performance carbides:

• We select a range of micro-grain carbide grades especially developed for cutting tools.
• Thanks to a high vanadium content, these cutters have a better wear resistance. 

Here are some elements of comparison between High Speed Steels (HSS) and carbide cutters:

Carbide cutters are harder than HSS
Carbide cutters wear much less than HSS cutters if they are employed correctly
Carbide cutters are more brittle than HSS cutters, therefore break more easily
Carbide cutters should be used at higher speeds than HSS cutters
