	Abbreviation	Description	Grain size
	SMG	Sub Micro Grain	0.5 - 0.7
	MG	Micro Grain	0.7 - 1.0
	MF	Micro Fine Grain	1.4 - 2.5

Grade	Recommended application
T10MG	Standard grade for solid carbide rotary tools and bars. For milling of steel and non-ferrous alloys. Suitable for drilling as well as for boring.
T06MG	Wear resistant carbide grade to work graphite, aluminium, non-ferrous alloys, fiber-reinforced synthetic material and circuit boards. Superior lifetime in most kinds of hard, consistant and abrasive materials.
T12SMG	Very fine grain size and high bending resistance. Extremely suitable for high speed cutting (HSC) and the best choice for mould makers. Also very good for working very hard steel.
T12MF	Impact and breakage resistant carbide grade for EDM and wear applications.
