Carbon and alloy steels through to austenitic stainless - the bulk of general engineering work. Cobalt HSS-E holds its edge at the temperatures these generate, which is why it is the sensible default here.

Stainless is the one that catches people out. The swarf comes off long and stringy, so a spiral flute in blind holes saves a lot of broken taps.
