• Characteristics
  • Major line up of inserts with a wiper edge for high machining accuracy

Can handle a wide variety of machinery from general production

machinery and pipes to aerospace instruments.

  • Stable chip control utilizing a 3D mold chipbreaker
  • Increased cutting performance through the polishing of the cutting edge flank for high quality thread machining.

The polished flank faces around the cutting

edge enable high quality threading
