WORLD HEADQUARTERS
We didn’t just improve metalcutting technology. We reinvented it. Introducing Beyond BLAST, a revolutionary insert platform that delivers many of the benefits of high-pressure systems at conventional coolant pressures. It is advanced coolant-application technology that makes cutting more efficient and effective — while extending tool life. TM
When we looked at the problems associated with turning and milling high-temperature alloys, we threw out conventional wisdom and asked, “What if?” Our visionary engineers responded with a channeled insert that directs coolant precisely where it’s needed — at the cutting edge — resulting in improved lubricity, lower cutting temperatures, and superior chip control.

We took an entirely different approach to machining hightemperature alloys. We determined that the most effective way to deliver coolant would be to channel it through the insert — ensuring that it hits exactly where it does the most good. That means more efficient coolant delivery at a fraction of the cost of high-pressure coolant systems.
Delivers superior performance on Titanium and high-temperature alloys, using either high- or low-pressure coolant systems Effective thermal management results in reduced cutting temperatures, improved lubricity, superior chip control, and longer tool life
Beyond BLAST delivers coolant directly and precisely to the cutting edge
