CHAM-IQ-DRILL
The CHAM-IQ-DRILL design body is produced from special steel for high durability and a special stopper prevents the drilling head from being extracted upwards from the pocket. Long stoppers provide high resistance to cutting forces, enabling applications under very high cutting conditions. nHigh flute helix and polished flute surfaces provide a smooth and easy chip evacuation process. nAn internal coolant supply provides efficient cooling and lubrication during the drilling process.
Logiq4Turn
The double-sided CXMG inserts operate similarly to CCMT positive inserts and can therefore replace standard CCMT inserts. In some applications, they can also replace standard negative CNMG inserts.nDouble-sided with a positive flank. Low cutting forces. Designed with a chipformer for general turning applications.
