                                       Successful development of innovative and dynamic parts in today’s
                                       miniature dental and medical components industry presents
                                       a formidable and equally dynamic challenge to cutting tool
                                       manufacturers.


        The fast-growing field is driven by enterprising        The materials for producing medical screws and

        together with medical device manufacturers,             steel hard materials are utilized when a special ratio
        who work in cooperation with machine and tool           of depth of cut to chip thickness is required. These
        manufacturers to transform their inventions into        materials are gummy and cause built - up edge
        parts that are revolutionizing medical and              (BUE), which tends to wear down edge sharpness,
        dental procedures.                                      while the high temperatures generated during chip
