Leading the world in insert finishing…

Cutting Tool Inserts before and after wet blasting

Our automatic Tiger wet blasting machine has long established itself as the gold standard for insert finishing, but what exactly can it do?

• Deburring and cleaning
• Edge honing
• Application of a specific K-Factor
• Surface preparation for coating
• Residual stress relief
• Post-coating finishing
• Post-coating peening
• Selective coating removal
• Application of an aesthetic finish

With so many possible applications it’s little wonder the Tiger is the go-to finishing solution for insert manufacturers worldwide.

Never complacent about the Tiger’s success, we’re continually developing our technology. Our latest Tiger + machine is specifically designed for inserts with complex three-dimensional geometries.
