Hitachi Metals America, Ltd. – Cutting Tools Group is introducing the new IASR/ASR MULTI Indexable Cutting Tools, featuring inserts coated with the world's first hybrid coating technology. The IASR/ASR MULTI Indexable Cutting Tools utilize inserts coated with Hitachi's JX Coating, a new PVD coating that incorporates particles with enhanced self-lubricating characteristics. According to Hitachi, lubricity as well as hardness, heat-resistance, and chipping resistance are improved over previous coatings. The JX Coating improves machining efficiency and tool life for high-speed, highfeed roughing and semi-roughing of general and pre-hardened steels. The IASR/ASR MULTI with JX coating performs well at feed rates higher than 20m/min (787ipm). The indexable cutting tools feature a rigid mill design, and are available in straight shank, modular, and face mill styles. Sizes range from 3/8 in. to 2-1/2 in. (16mm to 66).
