When milling hardened steel, tool life will be higher and more consistent when cutting dry, To most engineers this is counter intuitive as in college you are told the more lubrication the better. However, hardened steel tools, such as our X5070 cutters, have coatings that are capable of withstanding temperatures far higher than those generated when cutting dry.
