Cobalt steel tools are similar to high-speed steel, but with more cobalt for improved performance when cutting harder metals such as stainless steel or nickel alloys
Gold oxide is a thinner oxide surface treatment than black oxide typically used to identify cobalt steel tools; performance is similar to uncoated tools
Round shanks allow use with a wide variety of toolholding systems
Straight flute tools allow chips to collect in the flutes as they cut and are well suited for most applications in shallow cuts
Designed for accurate reaming in most materials using all types of equipment including screw machines, turret lathes, drill presses and machining centers
