Solid carbide tools offer long tool life and faster cutting speeds than other substrates, but are more brittle and must be used with rigid toolholding systems * Uncoated tools feature just the base substrate without any additional treatment or coatings and are suitable for a wide range of applications * Round shanks allow use with a wide variety of toolholding systems * Double-cut style has rows of cutting teeth cut in two intersecting directions for fast material removal and a rougher finish * 90 degrees included angle
