MX Grooving and Parting Tool Offers Superior Chip Control
Walter’s Cut MX grooving and parting tool’s geometries are designed to offer superior chip control, particularly the CF5 sintered geometry.
Walter’s Cut MX grooving and parting tool is said to improve accuracy, stability and process reliability by adopting and improving on proven technology. These indexable inserts boast four cutting edges per insert that are offered in three different geometry types (GD8, CF5 and RF5), and Tiger·tec Silver PVD coating.
The tool has self-aligning, tangential clamping of the MX system and the dowel pin location in its insert seat as well as geometries designed to offer superior chip control, particularly the CF5 sintered geometry. The inserts themselves have four precision ground cutting edges. Cutting depths of up to 6 mm and cutting widths from 0.8 to 3.25 mm are also available in the standard range.
