Two decades of cutting-tool expertise, in an advisor that answers in seconds. Brand-neutral across 13 brands and 1,216 indexed tool families. We sell nothing and take no commission.
Recommendations come from ISO criteria (grade, coating, cutting data), not supplier relationships. No brand pays for placement, and no vendor steers the answer.
The index covers the full machining stack — turning, milling, drilling and hole-making, threading, grooving and parting, reaming, and boring — across every ISO material group.
Plain language in, structured recommendation out — grade, geometry, cutting data and cross-brand alternatives, with the reasoning you can defend on the floor.
Paste your turning insert list and get a brand-neutral cost audit in 30 seconds: cross-brand equivalents at the same ISO application position, where you are likely overpaying, and which swap to trial first. No sign-up, no sales call.
The free tool answers one line at a time. This is the other thing: every insert you buy, cross-referenced against verified equivalents from 13 brands, and the annual saving written down so you can put it in front of whoever signs the invoice.
A photo of the insert boxes is enough. No drawings, no part numbers, nothing that identifies your customer.
The next question is usually the expensive one: a feed you are not sure of, a material you do not run every day. One wrong call costs more than a year of Pro. And every answer is independent: 13 brands, every grade, no vendor steering.
