Chipformers for Finishing

F3P Chipformer Double-sided insert with 1.7 a positive rack angle to

0.1 6° 12.5° reduce cutting forces for

finish machining on steel.

F3M Chipformer Double-sided insert with a positive rake angle for finish machining 0.15 15° on stainless steel. Its unique deflector geometry with a wavy surface prevents chip hammering.

SF Chipformer1.5 A unique super-finishing
chipformer that controls chip
0.6flow at very low feeds and
cutting depths. Designed
18˚to reduce crater wear.
NF ChipformerDouble-sided for semi-finishing
and finishing applications. Low
1.42cutting forces are due to a very
4ºsharp edge and positive rake.

0.4

WF Chipformer 1.7 8˚ 0.1

Wiper geometry for high feed finishing on soft and gummy materials. Small depths of cut.

VL Chipformer High positive rake and a special edge preparation used 3.3 for rough and finish turning on high temperature alloys. 16° 0.47 Excellent performance on parts such as automotive valves.

Chipformers for Medium Machining

M3P ChipformerDouble-sided insert for
medium machining on steel
.053
0.1 with a reinforced cutting
edge to increase tool life.
11°
M3M ChipformerDouble-sided insert for medium
11° machining on stainless steel with
0.2
a reinforced cutting edge that
prevents notch wear at
tight radii to increase tool life.
TF ChipformerDouble-sided positive rake angles to

prevent strain hardening. The rake angle varies along the edge to a negative angle which prevents chipping. Special design reduces cratering.

Used for carbon and alloy steel, stainless steel and high-temp alloys.
