Is this Cobalt or HSS?
I'm looking at a Regal-Beloit end mill, 3/4" dia. M-7
It is described as Cobalt but, when I try a search, it shows it to be HSS. Which is correct? TIA Lewis. ***** |

TIA Lewis. ***** FWIW, all "cobalt" tools are actually classed as high speed steel. M42 is the most common of the "cobalt" high speed steel grades, with 8% cobalt. You'll also see M35 (5% cobalt), and many of the high-end proprietary grades contain various amounts of cobalt. M7 is a tough HSS with good overall properties, often chosen for use in portable industrial drills because it will tolerate some off-axis loads and rough handling. It contains no cobalt. -- Ed Huntress |
