Face grooving system extended

Due to the availability of a wide range of chipbreaker geometries and substrates, the tool system can be easily adapted to the machining application and workpiece material.

The tool manufacturer has extended its modular concept so that various types of cartridge can be clamped using a single base holder. Internal coolant allows direct cooling at the contact zone to prolong tool life and improve chip removal from the groove. Coolant supply is via a transfer point on the base holder. The cartridges can also be used on older Horn holders, but without through coolant.

The axial holders are available in the following versions: LAK (left, external), RAK (right, external), LIK (left, internal) and RIK (right, internal). Maximum groove depth is 14mm and widths range from 3mm to 6mm.
