940 Series

Tool 942i0812C

When marking critical components, the difference between a clean line and a ragged scratch comes down to tip geometry and surface hardness.

The 942i0812C delivers a 0.012" tip diameter for fine detail work in metals and composites.
The 90-degree included angle provides the optimal balance between penetration control and material displacement for most marking applications.
TiB₂ coating adds surface hardness that extends tool life when working through scale, oxides, or work-hardened surfaces that would dull uncoated carbide.
Single-flute design evacuates chips cleanly from narrow grooves.
The geometry maintains edge definition through repeated marking cycles, which matters when part traceability depends on legible characters.
Works effectively for V-grooving operations where precise angular cuts are required.
