Insert Types and Cutting Edge Geometries

Characteristics

Multi Cornered One-Use Type Inserts - l One-use type inserts improve machining efficiency by using each cutting edge to its full potential following the numbering system on each cutting edge then throwing the insert away. l Multi cornered inserts have a single piece of Sumiboron mounted on every useable corner. Single sided inserts use the top corners whilst double sided inserts use both top and bottom corners. Diamond shaped inserts have 4 corners and triangular inserts have 6 corners. l A variety of Sumiboron coated grades readily replace expensive grinding operations for high precision tolerances outstanding surface finish, heavy interrupted cutting and efficient cost effective machining of hardened parts.

Break Master N - FV, N - LV, N - SV Characteristics

l N-SV type is perfect for carburised layer removal while N-FV / N-LV types are best suited to finishing of hardened steel. l First CBN insert to feature an integral chipbreaker l Ideal for removing carburised layer - can be used on both hardened and unhardened materals. l Effective chip control solution protects component from swarf damage.
