Main Chipformers
C-Type
- First choice for parting of bars, hard materials ~12˚ and tough applications.
- A positive rake, single cavity with negative land and shoulders provides extra cutting-edge strength. 7˚
- Medium-to-high feed f ≈ W insert [mm/rev]

JT-Type The JT chipformer design is based on the J-type chipformer with a T-land reinforced frontal cutting edge. 5°
- Provides a solution for the intermediate range between the strong and negative C-type configuration and the positive edged J-type chipformer.
7°
- Can be used on a wide range of materials, including soft or hard alloy and stainless steel, high temperature alloys and also cast iron. Recommended feed range as a function of insert width
- The JT chipformer deforms the chips into compact Feed shapes, in the same manner as the J-type, but it can mm/rev be used at higher feeds due to its reinforced edge. 0.30
