HB microtec - stands for High Benefit in "micro" machining technology!

Tools

Customized solid carbide cutting tools from HB microtec are used for high-precision machining of hard, abrasive and difficult-to-machine materials. Wherever conventional standard tools reach their limits, we develop a suitable special solution.

Arc Segment Cutter

Arc segment cutters, also known as circle segment or barrel cutters, are used primarily for highly efficient finishing of complex 3D freeform surfaces in tool, mold and die making as well as in aerospace and medical technology. Despite their comparatively small tool diameter, they have a large radius on the cutting edge.

Technical drawing: Special Deburring Drill

Special Deburring Drill

Solid carbide special deburring drills with back countersinking function drill, deburr and chamfer both sides of a bore in a single operation. This is particularly helpful for hard-to-reach rear sides of workpieces.
