Achieving Superior Performance in Internal Profiling and Narrow Area Machining
Iwaki, Japan, October, 2024 – Tungaloy Corporation (President: Satoshi Kinoshita, Headquarters: Iwaki, Fukushima) announces the addition of a new “STV” type insert for the TungShortCut series.
Overview
The TungShortCut series is an internal grooving tool line that utilizes a short-length insert measuring only 9 mm in total length. The series includes inserts for grooving (DGS type) and full-radius (DTR type) to accommodate internal grooving and profiling applications.
The newly added “STV” type insert features a 35-degree corner angle, enabling it to tackle wall and bottom machining in narrow grooving areas where traditional V-shaped ISO inserts would typically interfere. The integrated holder for the TungShortCut series supports a minimum machining diameter of DMIN = 12 mm, making it suitable for small-diameter internal groove bottom and profiling applications.
The “STV” type insert is equipped with the “JS” style chipbreaker, well-regarded in for finishing with ISO inserts, providing excellent chip control even during profiling operations that are prone to variable depth of cut. Additionally, it is offered in the versatile PVD-coated grade “AH725,” which ensures long-lasting performance across a wide range of workpiece materials.
With the introduction of the “STV” type insert, the TungShortCut series now offers enhanced capabilities for internal profiling and machining of complex shapes or narrow areas, significantly contributing to productivity improvements across various industries where such tasks were previously challenging.
