Material groups

The material has a decisive influence on the choice of the right tool. With the color ring marking on our tools, we make the search easier. The six colors stand for the six most common material groups. This makes tool selection very easy for around 80 percent of all machining tasks. In the table linked here, we have compiled a clear and comprehensive list of the various materials with their respective parameters and our suitable tool recommendations.

Clicking on the "Material table" button will take you directly to our practical overview, which already covers a large part of all materials. The color code in the last column is our recommendation of which color ring type we recommend. If your material is not included, please feel free to contact us. After our analysis we will get back to you with a suitable solution
