Scs Tool Platinum Arkand Series < UHD >

Most standard end mills use generic carbide powder. SCS Tool sources a proprietary, cobalt-rich, ultra-micrograin carbide for the Arkand Series. This specific grain size allows the tool to be extremely hard (92.0 HRA) while retaining fracture toughness. When machining hardened steel (above 55 HRC), a brittle tool will chip; the Arkand substrate flexes slightly under load, preventing catastrophic failure.

If your machine spindle is older (e.g., CAT40 vs. HSK63A), reduce the spindle speed by 15% but maintain the feed rate. The Arkand geometry relies on chip load, not RPM, for heat dissipation. Most standard end mills use generic carbide powder
