In FY2025, Kennametal reported net sales of about $2.0 billion, and aerospace remained a key end market for advanced carbide tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAerospace machining typically grows faster than basic industrial machining because narrow tolerances and tough alloys need premium inserts, drills, and end mills.
