Materials

HSS-E
High Speed Steel with 10% Co. for greater hardness and heat resistance.  In this category of conventional HSS-E steels we use Vasco Hypercut M42 (DIN S 2-10-1-8).

PM
Powder Metal Steels compared to conventional HSS-E Steels.
ASP 2030 (DIN S 6-5-3-8)
ASP 2060 (DIN S 6-7-6-10)
CPM Rex 76 (AISI M 48)
