FASSCO High Speed Steel (F-3000) Advantages

Premium HSS knives engineered for longevity, precision, and OEM-correct performance.

Why FASSCO F-3000

  • Every high speed steel knife uses a T1 inlay with 18% tungsten—one of the hardest materials on Earth.
  • Heat treated in a vacuum furnace for uniform temperature, clean atmosphere, and precise timing—critical for optimal hardening.
  • Triple-tempered (3×) to achieve greater hardness and durability than typical processes.
  • Meticulous heating, quenching, and tempering produce a uniform surface that reduces future honing time.
  • Manufactured to exact OEM specifications, including bevel angle—no “one-size” shortcuts that can degrade cut quality in incompatible machines.
  • A smooth microfinish on the back of every knife reduces friction beyond OEM levels, extending life and improving cut consistency.
