ISCAR continues to create fresh solutions for difficult ID machining problems through strategic additions to its popular PICCO family of solid carbide inserts.
ISCAR TIGERV heavy-duty grooving inserts with a new chipformer design, ensure better tool security, chip control and ejection in difficult grooving operations on carbon and high-alloy steel even at slow speeds.
A full line of carbide burs that are offered in a variety of styles and shapes and are ideal for weld preparation and removal applications is available from Rex-Cut Products Inc.
For parts that are less than 0.125" (3.18-mm) in diameter, Tungaloy America Inc. introduced a series of high-positive, low-cutting-force, screw-down, dead-sharp inserts and toolholders last year. There are four chipbreakers: JS features a molded chipbreaker and the JRP, JPP, and JSP inserts.
To meet the growing demand from the energy/powergen sector, ISCAR has launched a line of extra-strength standard grooving tools for more efficient and secure machining of T and L slots so common in turbomachinery.
ISCAR has launched a line of improved CUT-GRIP grooving inserts for ID grooving that features the N-type chipformer that has proven so effective in OD turning of problematic metals.
Kennametal is introducing the first Beyond inserts for Kennametal's FixPerfect system, promising improved toughness and wear-resistance, resulting in higher turning productivity and safety.
Seco Tools has announced the availability of its new CBN 170 grade, a PCBN grade developed for the finish turning of nickel-based super alloys commonly found in aerospace, power generation and automotive components.
