Chipbreaker – Creates small manageable chips.

GROB Systems, Inc., a developer of manufacturing systems and machine tools, broke ground in December 2023 on a 135,000-square-foot expansion project.

PLASMA CUT is the perfect solution to keeping your table productive for long runs and less frequent clean outs.

A new family of tools and economical 5 pocket adapters for existing TANG-GRIP inserts in sizes of 2 and 3mm. These new adapters will allow parting applications of bar diameters up to Ø45mm. A new SLIM-GRIP 1.2-1.6mm inserts for a pentagonal adapter suitable for parting up to 22mm bar diameter.

The drill bodies are available in 3xD and 5xD length to diameter ratios. The inserts are supplied in a specifically developed user-friendly key, enabling easy mounting with no setup time.

135° Point Geometry – Split point geometry for superior drilling penetration and accuracy. Double-Margin Design – For improved drilling stability and smooth surface finish. Polished Flutes - Chip evacuation is improved during deep-hole drilling when the flutes are polished. Coolant Holes – Cooling the cutting edges improves chip evacuation during the drilling operation. Coating – A multi-layer coating allows drilling at high speed. Excellent for drilling operations in steel (up to 45 HRC).

The AS5202-X will cut the required spot face and counterbore only; it does not cut the thread minor diameter. A coolant hole to each flute aids with increased chip evacuation, higher speeds and feeds, and longer tool life. The polished flute face optimizes performance for a smoother surface finish. The body of the port tool is made of heat- treated alloy steel and the brazed inserts are made of premium quality sub-micron carbide.
