Cutting tools for aerospace manufacturing encompass precision implements used to machine metallic and composite airframe and engine components, including milling cutters, drills, taps, end mills, turning inserts, and saw blades manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), cemented carbide, polycrystalline diamond (PCD), and cubic boron nitride (CBN), and typically featuring PVD or CVD wear-resistant coatings to meet tight geometric tolerances on titanium, Inconel, and CFRP workpieces.
