High surface quality is possible without any problems in the finishing process, even when the conditions are unstable.
Horn USA’s FB geometry is a cutting solution for finishing grooves. By standardizing the special cutting geometry, Horn says it enables users to achieve better surface quality on the flanks and at the base of a groove or recess. This geometry can also be used as a special solution for producing grooves for sealing rings and shaft seals. The company says users can achieve high surface quality without any problems in the finishing process, even when the conditions are unstable. Horn offers the geometry for a variety of systems for external and internal grooving. It’s available as a standard tool for the 224, 229, S34T, 315 and 64T systems for precision machining of external grooves. For internal machining, it is available for the 105, 108, 111, 114 and 216 systems. Further insert types are available as special tools and can be delivered quickly via the Greenline system, whereby it is possible to deliver up to 50 customized inserts, depending on the design, within five working days after customer approval of the drawing.
