940 Series

Tool 942i1620C

Sharp corners chip. Coatings crack under impact. The 942i1620C addresses both problems in precision marking applications.

This 90-degree engraver carries a 0.02" tip diameter for fine line work in metals and composites.
The TiB₂ coating adds hardness without the brittleness issues common in other hard coatings.
TiB₂ maintains its integrity under the intermittent cutting forces that marking operations create, particularly in harder alloys where uncoated carbide tends to wear rapidly at the tip.
Single flute design evacuates chips cleanly from narrow grooves.
The 90-degree included angle provides the depth-to-width ratio most marking applications require while maintaining adequate support behind the cutting edge.
Geometry is ground to maintain tip concentricity within 0.0002" for consistent mark depth across extended production runs.
