We focus on clear communication and use ISO 13399 parameters to describe all tool features.
All toolholders and cutting tools are described using standard ISO 13399 parameters. You can find exact definitions of these parameters in below list.
Tungstool uses ISO 13399 parameters in both online product pages and printed catalogs. All new products already follow this system.
About ISO 13399:
This international standard gives every cutting tool a set of common description parameters. It creates a universal way to describe tools that works across different computer systems. When everyone uses the same standard descriptions:
Communication becomes clearer
Data sharing between systems works better
Data collection is faster and more accurate
Saves time and ensures quality
Eliminates manual data entry from paper catalogs
Once your system supports ISO 13399, you can directly use the tool data without manual input.
