Very difficult to cut material and extremely high tolerances created an extremely challenging project. Tool selection was absolutely critical and Emuge endmills proved to be the right choice for the job. Each blade segment (bucket) was milled to high tolerance to fit accurately when assembled into the final ring. This component is in use in South Africa at a power generation station.
