After the successful commercial launch of the user-friendly CERATIZIT 3x3 concept – the complete
package for the turning of steel, CERATIZIT extended the steel matrix with a new chip breaker. The new chip
breaker -XU is an extension geometry between the chip breakers -F50 and -M50 for applications with
chipping problems.

The milling grade range

Thanks to BLACKSTARTM and SILVERSTARTM our
new grade universe for milling cutters with inserts
offers optimized and updated grades for the
machining of ISO P-M-K materials. These double the
productivity for milling applications

For ISO-K cast iron machining

BLACKSTARTM CTCK215 is optimally suitable

for higher cutting speeds, particularly when dry
machining.
SILVERSTARTM CTPK220 is ideal for applications
with higher toughness when wet machining.

For ISO-P steel machining For ISO-M stainless steel machining

The BLACKSTARTM CTCP230 grade shows its
strengths when dry machining steel with high metal
removal rates.
SILVERSTARTM CTPP235 is the specialist for wet
machining or for unstable conditions when steel ma-
chining.
SILVERSTARTM CTPM225 is wear-resistant and par-
ticularly suitable for the machining of austenitic ma-
terials.
BLACKSTARTM CTCP235 is suitable for the machin-
ing of martensitic steel materials and as a tough
alternative in the field of general steel machining.
SILVERSTARTM CTPM240 is ideal for the machin-
ing of austenitic materials in smaller batch sizes.

BLACKSTARTM grades SILVERSTARTM grades

The BLACKSTARTM grades are highly wear-
resistant thanks to their TiN/TICN/Al2O3 coatings.
Due to their excellent adhesion, these coatings are
particularly suitable for the machining of steel and
cast iron.
For high cutting performance in interrupted cutting
actions or with difficult to machine materials,
SILVERSTARTM grades are the first choice.

Expansion to incorporate high-alloy steels
Following the revision of grades in the P, M and K
ISO ranges, the CTC5235 grade was also completely
overhauled and repositioned. This means that we
can offer a more harmonious overall concept in terms
of indexable insert milling.
The new SILVERSTAR™ grade CTPM245
represents an expansion to the product range to
incorporate high-alloy steels for which there is wide-
spread market demand, for example in the energy,
aerospace and general mechanical engineering
sectors.

The CTPM245 grade is suitable for machining

high-alloy steels in the P45/M45 ISO ranges.

DirectCooling – DC-SX
DC-SX parting and grooving blades and
clamping blocks with internal coolant supply
Cutting edge cooling in a nutshell
Cooling lubricants in machining primarily fulfil the
task of cooling, lubricating and chip evacuation.
Flood cooling in this context is still the most
widely used cooling method. But the best cooling
is useless if it does not arrive at the cutting
edge. This is a particular problem in parting and
grooving operations. In this machining method the
cutting area is completely protected: on the upper
SX parting and grooving system – now with
DirectCooling (DC)
DirectCooling – to make sure that the coolant arrives
where it achieves the greatest effect – on the cutting
edge
Optimization potential
▲ Optimized process security
▲ Increased tool life
▲ Maximum cutting parameters
▲ Optimized chip evacuation
▲ Improved surface quality
▲ Reduced production costs
▲ Increased productivity

CUTTING SOLUTIONS BY CERATIZIT
side by the chips, on the lower side by the cutting
insert and laterally by the work piece. Tools with
targeted internal cooling open up new possibilities for
higher productivity. Thanks to DirectCooling (DC),
a new tooling generation from Cutting Solutions by
CERATIZIT, these problems are now a thing of the
past.
Our proven SX parting and grooving system with one
cutting edge is now also available with a targeted
internal coolant supply (DirectCooling – DC). The
coolant is now transported through two coolant
holes (one is above and one is below the parting
and grooving insert) to exactly the point where the
greatest effect is achieved, namely on the cutting
edge. The transport of the coolant to the cutting edge
is carried out by means of specifically developed DC
clamping blocks. The use of DirectCooling enables
significantly improved machining results even at
minimum pressures.
Effect of the coolant pressure on the
machining result
80 bar or more: chip control
60 bar or more: chip control and direction
(shorter chips)
40 bar or more: reduced built-up edge
Up to 20 bar: reduced flank wear,
reduced cratering, longer
tool life, better surface quality

MaxiDrill 900
The new tooling concept for the entire application
spectrum in the diameter range .625“ to 2.25“ and
lengths up to 5xD. Both the peripheral and the
central cutting edges are designed to have the same
geometry, size, and grade which simplifies usage,
avoids mixing up the inserts and increases productivity.
The new grade CTPP430 is suitable for a wide range
of drilling applications and is characterized by high
wear resistance combined with excellent toughness
in numerous applications. MaxiDrill 900 is suitable
for drilling at high speeds and with interrupted cuts,
drilling through cast skin and in difficult situations,
drilling of convex or inclined surfaces. The materials
that can be machined range from steel to stainless
steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and difficult to
machine materials.

EcoCut – the original

EcoCut is the updated tool holder for optimized
stability. The ‘HARD & TOUGH’ surface ensures
reduced friction, optimal chip evacuation and
protection against abrasive wear. The new coated
high-performance grades cover all materials of
the ISO material groups P, M, K and S: the grades
CTCP425 and CTCP435 with the COLORSTARTM
coating (CVD) ensure stable cutting edges and
maximum heat resistance. The new grade for a variety
of applications, SILVERSTARTM CTPP430 (PVD)
is suitable for the application on stainless and
heat-resistant materials as well as on steel and cast
iron materials.
The SILVERSTARTM CTPP430 grade is simulta-
neously provided with high wear resistance and
boasts excellent toughness in a wide application ran-
ge.
Also for EcoCut Mini new grades have been
specially developed – the uncoated carbide grade
CTWN425 has sharp cutting edges and hence is
particularly suitable for the machining of aluminium
and non-ferrous metals. The PVD coated grade
CTPP435, demonstrates its strength in all applica-
tions of steel, stainless steel, cast iron and heat re-
sistant materials.

Higher stability of machining process

An enlarged chip groove and diameter of the flange

guarantees increased stability and perfect chip
evacuation when combined with the HARD & TOUGH
Nickel coating.

Easier to use

The new Torx-Plus screws

provide more safety and
improved transmission of
the torque moment.

EcoCut offers optimal geometries for all feed rate ran-
ges and high surface quality.
More extensive product range
EcoCut enhances your production time as set-up,
machine setting and programming times have been
reduced to a minimum. In this way you save
time when changing the tool and achieve better
utilization of the machine. At the same time
logistics and stock management are reduced.
