»IC-plus World`s Best« Chipbreaker

While CO-type chipbreakers only redirect the chips, LACH DIAMOND's new »IC-plus world`s best« chipbreaker will already guide chips with a cutting depth (ap) of 0.01 mm. The cutting depth can be increased up to the maximum length of the cutting edge, e.g. up to 5.0 mm maximum for an ISO cutting insert VCMT.

LACH DIAMOND can look back on 20 years of experience in the development of PCD chipbreakers. The first CO-type patent was issued on Jan. 26, 1999: A laser cut chip groove for PCD materials.

Chipbreakers with a manufactured chip groove have proven to be only suitable to a limited extent for a process-reliable, controlled chip breaking process of long chipping aluminum alloys. An active chipbreaker was the final solution. It had to show outstanding performance during rough machining, as well as fine finishing.
