PRODUCT UPDATE —
TOUGH GUN Reamer Cutter Blades
July 30, 2019
Tregaskiss has made the following changes to its TOUGH GUN® reamer cutter blades:
- Effective immediately as a running change: With no affect on performance, all cutter blades will now have a black oxide coating to ensure color consistency.
- Effective August 1, 2019: Select cutter blades have been changed from a dual flute design to a single flute design to enhance the cutter’s ability to remove spatter from the consumables.
