CTE Booth Visit with CERATIZIT USA @ Eastec

CERATIZIT USA's Chuck Somerville, sales engineer for cutting tools, provides a table by table overview of the company's cutting tools displayed at its booth during Eastec 2023.

CTE Booth Visit with Greenleaf Corp. @ Eastec

The Greenleaf Corp. ran a demonstration at its booth during Eastec 2023 showcasing the capabilities of a range of tool, including indexable and solid options. Included in the demo were Greenleaf's Ring Max tool and its XSYTIN-1 phase-toughened ceramic insert grade.

WL17 Indexable Insert

The inserts feature three cutting edges at a 50° copying angle. Compared to the WL25 indexable inserts, which measure 25 mm per side, the WL17 inserts measure 17 mm per side. The WL25 inserts are now additionally offered in W0110-C Walter Capto tools and the W1211 QuadFit exchangeable head for Accure.tec anti-vibration boring bars.

Expanded Diameter and Corner Radius in Tungaloy-NTK’s DoMultiRec

DoMultiRec multifunctional milling cutter with center cutting capability enables a single tool to perform multiple milling operations, including shouldering, pocketing and drilling. A uniquely designed insert integrates a center and peripheral cutting edge on one side of the insert; the same insert can be used either for the center or peripheral position for up to four indexings per insert.

HM Geometry

The HM geometry has a highly negative and narrow T-land, as well as a positive rake to reduce vibration and enable a smoother cutting action. Together, these improve the durability and process security, prolonging tool life in the relevant materials by up to 50%, compared to the existing assortment.

WKK25G Milling Grade

PVD-Coated Grade Insert Added to Tiger-Tec Gold Range

The WKK25G grade is a true specialist when milling today’s cast irons (ISO K material group), such as ductile cast iron. Specifically, the grade is ideal for unfavorable milling conditions, such as interrupted cuts, and for wet machining applications. The grade meets the most stringent requirements for process reliability, particularly in the automotive industry, and is suitable for highly abrasive workpiece materials.

LNEX 12 Insert

The peripherally ground insert offers improved wall accuracy and straightness and creates a true 90° corner. The LNEX12 also featuring a patented U-groove segment on all four cutting edges which provide a good surface finish and expand its application range to low-power machines and small depths of cut. In addition, the two-sided design supports performance by making ramping possible.

P6006 Indexable Inserts

P6006 Ideal for Holemaking Without Pilot Drilling

Ideal for holemaking without a pilot drill up to 10×Dc, the inserts provide time savings that boost productivity. The inserts were designed to achieve maximum tool life in stable machining conditions thanks to the wear resistant WPP25 grade with HIPIMS technology. The grade has a particularly hard and robust substrate to extend tool life.

ONMX Inserts

ONMX Negative Octagonal and Square Inserts and Shell Mills

The latest Pramet range includes three variants of a 16-edged ONMX insert for depths of cut up to 0.157” (4mm). The standard geometries include the F for light operations, M for versatile use, and R for rough cuts in a variety of materials. Additionally, the 8-edged ONMX-W is a specific wiper insert for high-quality surface finish with large cutters and high feed rate.

S224 Type Indexable Insert

Revised Clamping Optimises Insert for Swiss-Type Lathes

Horn has revised the clamping of the S224 type indexable insert for use in Swiss-type lathes. In order not to have to remove the holder for indexing or changing the insert, the Horn engineers relocated the clamping screw to the side. Clamping now takes place via a camshaft. This allows the insert to be clamped quickly at either side of the holder without having to remove it.
