SPK® Cutting Tools
For more than 70 years, the CeramTec brand SPK® has stood for powerful and efficient design of machining processes with ceramic cutting materials, CBN and whisker-reinforced ceramics. In summer 2024, we revived our traditional brand under the name “SPK by CeramTec” and expanded our range of machining solutions at the same time. Find out more about the comeback of SPK®.
SPK® by CeramTec
CeramTec now operates its machining activities under the name SPK by CeramTec. With the revival of the traditional SPK brand, CeramTec is also expanding its range of machining solutions.
Find out what SPK is all about, why CeramTec is reviving the SPK name for its machining activities and what other machining solutions CeramTec offers under SPK.
Machining Solutions from the Cutting Material Experts
SPK® cutting materials and tool systems are used in the machining of components made of cast iron, hard materials such as hardened or sintered steels and HRSA materials. When turning, hard turning, grooving, milling or boring, the cutting materials and tool systems from SPK by CeramTec enable economical, high-quality machining processes.
SPK® Cutting Inserts
Under the SPK® brand, CeramTec offers a unique range of indexable inserts made of ceramic cutting materials, CBN (polycrystalline cubic boron nitride) and whisker-reinforced ceramic for turning, hard turning, grooving, milling and boring in a wide range of industries.
The performance of a cutting material is the basis for the optimum machining of a workpiece. Its performance has a major influence on the most important machining parameters such as tool life, cutting speed and surface quality. With the SPK by CeramTec range of cutting materials and indexable inserts for workpieces made of cast iron, hardened and sintered steel and HRSA materials, a wide variety of machining tasks can be solved efficiently and economically.
