SIMTEK GRADIUM cutting grades
Designed and made by SIMTEK in order to meet highest expectations.
GRADIUM cutting grades stand for an ideal combination of carbide substrate, cutting edge finish and high performance coatings. They also stand for process reliability and high quality, which is one of the results of adding the coating production to the rest of the manufacturing processes we already do inhouse. This chain of manufacturing processes also provides even shorter pro-duction times and logistical advantages.
