Iscar's latest addition in the PENTA series introduces a new 5-cornered insert for machining miniature parts. The unique shape and design of the insert rekindles this legacy insert by opening new frontiers for additional applications. Standard inserts now available in a wide range of widths from 0.010" – 0.125", with different edge configurations for parting, grooving, back-turning, side-turning, profiling and threading. The insert and toolholders enable the machining of miniature parts with right and left capabilities next to the shoulder of the workpiece. In addition to shouldering capabilities, the tool features a short head, suitable for smaller Swiss and miniature machines. Just like the Penta 24 and Penta 34 before, the Penta 17 design allows for access of the screw for indexing the insert from either side of the toolholder. The chip deflector is ideal for accurate machining and provides excellent repeatability.
