High speed machining (HSM) has been used for over 60 years to machine metals and non-metals, including those with hardness over 50 HRC. Conventional machining of steel components between 32-42 HRC involves rough and semi-finishing machining, heat treatment, machining electrodes for electrical discharge, and finishing surfaces. For die and mold manufacturing in leading countries, machining and polishing make up around two thirds of total costs and a significant portion of lead time. High speed machining allows increasing efficiency, accuracy, and quality while decreasing costs and time compared to conventional cutting.
