Both machines were equipped with Iscar tooling to demonstrate performance. Tooling on the machines included the FFQ and H600 fast feed milling inserts, SumoCham drilling, the ChatterFree end mill and the Tang Plunge tangentially clamped inserts with four cutting edges, and a rigid cutter body for plunging operations.
