HSS Round Tool Bits
HSS (High-Speed Steel) Round Tool Bits are cutting tools made from a tough and durable high-speed steel alloy. They are commonly used for various machining operations like turning, facing, cutting, and shaping metals. These bits are round in shape and are available in different sizes, grades (like M2, M35, M42), and lengths.
- Grades: HSS M2 , HSS M35, HSS M42
- Length: 50mm to 350 mm, 2inch to 14 inch
- Thickness : 0.5mm to 60 mm
- Hardness: 62-64 HRC
- Standard tolerance of h9 is followed for all-round tool bits
- Application/usage: Used for forgings, castings, and any cuts of heavy nature, ideal for finishing applications.
- Shape: Round
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- Material: HSS tool bits are made from high-speed steel, a special alloy known for its ability to maintain hardness even at high temperatures during machining. This makes them suitable for demanding cutting applications.
- Shape: The "round" refers to the cross-sectional shape of the tool bit, which is cylindrical.
- Applications: They are widely used in various industries for machining, including turning, facing, cutting, and shaping metal parts.
- Grades: HSS tool bits are available in different grades, such as M2, M35, and M42, which have varying compositions of cobalt and other alloying elements, impacting their hardness, wear resistance, and suitability for different applications.
- Sizes: These bits come in standard and non-standard sizes to suit different machining needs.
- Advantages: HSS tool bits offer superior strength, durability, and resistance to heat compared to other types of tool bits, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications.
- Examples of Use: They can be used for forging, casting, and heavy cuts, as well as for creating special punches and engraving bits.
- How they are used: HSS round tool bits are used in lathe machines, planers, and shapers
