High-Speed Steel (HSS) Tool Holders (Industry Standard) | General machining, cast iron processing, cost-sensitive jobs | HSS with Rockwell hardness 62-65 HRC (ASTM A681 compliant) | Affordable, versatile for multiple materials | Lower durability at high speeds, limited edge retention (▲ compared to carbide) |
Carbide-Tipped Tool Holders (Industry Standard) | High-speed machining, hard materials (e.g., stainless steel) | Tungsten carbide inserts (ISO K30 grade, 1400 HV hardness) | Exceptional wear resistance, precision finishes | Fragile, expensive, requires specialized handling (▲▲ over HSS) |
Company’s Base Version (HSS + TiN Coating) | Cast iron threading, moderate-speed CNC operations | HSS + TiN coating (Rockwell 65 HRC ▲), hardness exceeds ASTM A681 standards | Improved wear resistance, cost-effective upgrade from basic HSS | Still limited to moderate speeds, not ideal for exotic alloys |
Company’s Advanced Version (Carbide Inserts) | High-speed threading, aerospace alloys, precision parts | Carbide inserts (ISO M20 grade, 1500 HV ▲▲), precision ±0.005mm (ISO 2768-m5) | Superior durability, ultra-precise threading, handles high temps (▲▲ over Base) | Higher cost, requires careful alignment to avoid chipping |
Modular Tool Holders (Industry Standard) | Multi-operation machining centers, flexible setups | Quick-change interfaces (ISO 26623), modular design for tool swaps | Reduces downtime, adapts to diverse machining tasks | Higher upfront cost, potential misalignment risks |
Indexable Tool Holders (Industry Standard) | High-volume production, repetitive threading tasks | Replaceable inserts (ISO 13399), 20+ usable edges per insert | Low per-cut cost, consistent performance across batches | Less adaptable for custom geometries, insert replacement adds complexity |
