Kennametal Inc.'s Beyond Blast tools channel coolant through the insert at the interface of the cutter and insert. Coolant pressure remains adjustable, but because the coolant is delivered through the insert, coolant delivery is reportedly more reliable and controlled, significantly reducing temperatures at the point of the cut. Tools are available for turning and milling.
