High-security groove milling and parting off
Quick and easy insert changes save time. The quick-release key ensures the same clamping force over prolonged use thanks to no wear on the insert seat.Easy handling with quick-release key
Separate key available as an accessory for applications where the standard key cannot be used due to limited space, e.g. in gang milling.
Use the torque tool for correct mounting.Torque tool
Driving collars for extra stability minimize vibration and ensure excellent quality grooves when using cutters with a high diameter-width ratio.Driving collar mounting
Smaller driving collars can be used together with face mill adapters in large machining centers as a cost-efficient solution.
Dampened Silent Tools™ adapters minimize vibration and provide stability when machining with long overhangs.Silent Tools™
For parting and grooving milling applications, the most important factor to keep in mind is the maximum chip thickness (hex). Calculating cutting parameters according to the right hex value will ensure good cutting action with better surface quality and tool life.
Parting off is often one of the last operations before the completion of the component, security is therefore of major importance. If the tool breaks during the parting, it generally scraps the component, but it may also lead to a longer machine stoppage.
