AC810P Cutting Performance
AC800P Series covers a wide range of machining applications from high speed to interrupted cutting.
All grades feature Super FF Coat, which has excellent wear and chipping resistance.
Versatile GE Type chipbreaker suited to high-feed applications. High efficiency, long tool life.
AC810P
In addition to FF-TiCN, which has excellent peel-off and wear resistance, this grade features a tough,
thick Alumina coating enhanced by newly developed grain growth control technology, excellent wear
resistance and long tool life in high-speed, high-feed cutting.
AC820P
In addition to FF-TiCN, which has excellent peel-off and wear resistance, this grade features a high-
density structured FF-Al

Employs Absotech Platinum, a new CVD coating.The first recommended grade for general machining of stainless steel that drastically reduces the occurrence of abnormal
damage, which is a problem in stainless steel machining, and achieves long and stable machining thanks to the improved coating strength and excellent adhesion.
Employs Absotech Bronze, a new PVD coating, and exclusive tough carbide substrate.The first recommended grade for interrupted machining of stainless steel that drastically improves the
reliability in unstable machining thanks to the excellent adhesion and peel-off resistance of the new PVD coating as well as the improved fracture resistance of the exclusive carbide substrate.
High hardness carbide substrate coupled with Super FF Coat. For high efficiency machining with superior wear resistance.
High toughness carbide substrate coupled with Super FF Coat. A general purpose grade with sharp cutting edges for superior stability.
Tough carbide grade that utilises the high wear resistant Super ZX Coat for excellent stability
Tough grade with long tool life and high efficiency for precision machining of stainless steel and
small components.

Improvements to super FF-TiCN coating grain and hardness provide significantly improved wear resistance.
Newly developed stress control technology enhances micro-grained Alumina (FF-Al2O3) coating for superior reliability.
Super FF
Ultra-fine grained, ultra-hard TiCN coating
increases wear resistance 1.5 times.
Coating stress control technology reduces abnormal
damage caused by chipping.

SUMIBORON
High hardness and heat resistance for cutting high hardness steel and
hard cast iron. Long tool life with high-speed finishing of grey cast iron.
In 1977, Sumitomo Electric successfully developed a revolutionary CBN sintered tool - SUMIBORON. The main component in
SUMIBORON is Cubic Boron Nitride with a special ceramic binder sintered under super high pressure and temperature.
As compared to other conventional tool materials, CBN has higher hardness and excellent heat resistance.
With these distinct characteristics, SUMIBORON can perform machining of hardened steel, high hardness cast iron and
exotic metals where previously only grinding was done. Furthermore, excellent efficiency and longer tool life can also be
achieved from high speed machining of cast irons.
