What if instead of coating your insert, they coated the PARTICLES that make up your insert?!⠀ ⠀ The technology behind these EternAloy Corporation finishing inserts is pretty wild – they’re the first ones to actually nano-coat the carbide powder before it’s pressed and sintered into an insert, so instead of a coating that wears off, you’re getting the same performance from start to finish.⠀ ⠀ Here's Ian Sandusky from Lakewood Machine & Tool ripping some A2 tool steel into these adjustment screws – these will get a second operation to broach a hex in the back end, and then they’ll be off for heat treat!⠀ #machinist #cnc #metalworking
