WG-700™ Ceramic Inserts	WG-700™ Ceramic Inserts WG-700™ is a completely new whisker-reinforced ceramic insert and is the most sophisticated ceramic insert developed by Greenleaf. WG-700™'s substrate benefits from an optimized whisker load, which improves its crack- and wear-resistance characteristics while increasing its overall strength. Greenleaf's new, proprietary "platinum" nano-layered coating provides low-friction machining in both wet and dry environments, high temperature stability, abrasion resistance, oxidation resistance and chemical inertness. The end result is an extremely strong, wear-resistant, mechanical-shock resistant ceramic grade that is capable of much higher metal-removal rates than any other whisker-reinforced ceramic insert.

Excelerator® Ball Nose End Mills	Excelerator® Ball Nose End Mills Greenleaf's Excelerator® Ball Nose End Mills are the only ball nose cutter that is designed to use both carbide and ceramic inserts in the same qualified cutter bodies - providing more capability and versatility. Greenleaf's ball nose end mills offer better performance, higher cutting speeds, longer tool life and superior cutting action over competitors' mills. The Excelerator® Ball Nose is the perfect machining tool for a wide spectrum of difficult-to-machine materials including high-temp alloys, hard steels, soft steels, stainless steels and more.

Excelerator® XF	Excelerator® XF Greenleaf's Excelerator® XF cutters are designed for high-feed milling on a wide variety of materials including hard steels and high-temp alloys using Greenleaf's advanced ceramic and carbide inserts. All Excelerator® XF cutters can use Greenleaf's WG-300® and WG-600® whiskered ceramic inserts on hardened and difficult-to-machine materials or a variety of Greenleaf carbide grades for easier-to-cut materials. That gives you a versatility that no other high-feed cutter on the market can match.

WG-700™ Ceramic Inserts

< Provided By Greenleaf Corporation

For over 65 years, Greenleaf Corporation has been dedicated to supplying metalworking companies with innovative cutting tools and tool-holding systems. As companies continue to pursue increased productivity through advanced machining technology and design, Greenleaf increases its commitment to delivering productivity to its customers with the introduction of a new whisker-reinforced ceramic grade, WG-700™.

WG-700™ is a completely new whisker-reinforced ceramic insert and is the most sophisticated ceramic insert developed by Greenleaf. WG-700™'s substrate benefits from an optimized whisker load, which improves its crack- and wear-resistance characteristics while increasing its overall strength. Greenleaf's new, proprietary "platinum" nano-layered coating provides low-friction machining in both wet and dry environments, high temperature stability, abrasion resistance, oxidation resistance and chemical inertness. The end result is an extremely strong, wear-resistant, mechanical-shock resistant ceramic grade that is capable of much higher metal-removal rates than any other whisker-reinforced ceramic insert.

"Our goal for WG-700™ was to create an insert that could consistently machine high-strength alloys at speeds in excess of 1,000 SFM," states Greenleaf Corporation's president, Jim Greenleaf. "Not only did we achieve our goal, but we found that we'd also created a grade that is capable of those extreme speeds at higher feed rates and with better tool life than any of our other whisker grades."

The introduction of WG-700™ is aimed at delivering comprehensive solutions for machining the new classes of difficult-to-cut materials entering the marketplace from new high-strength alloy materials to composites. As the cost to manufacture these materials increases and profit margins decrease in an ever-competitive global economy, it is becoming more important than ever for manufacturers to maximize their machining processes.

With Greenleaf's WG-700™, customers can expect superior wear resistance and toughness at high speeds and feeds, maximizing their production capabilities in these ultra-competitive times.
