When producing Vignole or transition profiles and points, longevity is key. Rails and points endure heavy daily loads, and rail steel with tensile strengths of 700–1600 N/mm² presents significant machining challenges. Flexible, robust tools are required for a wide range of conditions. AccuGlobal milling tools meet these demands, supporting all rail profiles and pitches with reliable performance and productivity across materials.
