New grades offer higher wear resistance and longer tool life, increasing productivity in cast iron and compacted graphite cast iron machining

Kennametal has introduced the KCK20B and KCKP10 indexable milling grades for higher wear
resistance and up to 30% longer tool life when machining cast iron and compacted graphite iron
components. Both grades offer higher productivity and consistent, repeatable performance during
