Ask anything about cutting tools, or type your grade. Every maker's AI recommends its own tools. Ours compares all makers and shows the published source behind each answer, or tells you it could not verify. Free, no account. We sell no tools.
Two decades of cutting-tool expertise, in an advisor that answers in seconds. Brand-neutral: 554 grades cross-referenced across 15 brands, 53,000+ tools indexed from manufacturer catalogue data. 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 finder answers one grade at a time. The report works up to three grades through in one document: cross-brand matches with the number of manufacturer charts behind each, candidates of a different cutting material flagged apart, published cutting speeds where the maker gives them, and a cost-per-part sheet you fill with your own prices.
The coverage check is free. You only pay if you want the full document. How buying works
