You know from experience that while composite layers are strong, they also can wear down a tool’s geometry in a matter of minutes and splinter at the edge when machined. Such splintering causes weakness. You don’t want splintering on an aircraft hull or wing. Kennametal has created a tool with the right geometry, clearance, and coating to withstand composite wear and eliminate splintering.

When dealing with hard-to-machine typical aerospace materials, cutting tool functionality defines the existing level of productivity.
