Milling cutter inserts give excellent
chip flow
Shoulder and helical end mills feature excellent chip-flow, optimum cooling of the tool, high run-out accuracy (even under heavy loads) and outstanding process safety.
The new XPHT1604 ERGE insert geometry from Widia further extends the range of possible applications for the M680 range of shoulder mills and the M300 range of helical end mills

Micro tooling system speeds up auto lathe changes
Quick-change tooling system for automatic lathes, featured in the "Micro Machining Tools" catalogue, has achieved time savings of up to 40% and can be used in turning and boring operations.
The benefits from these cutters, excellent chip-flow, optimum cooling of the tool, high run-out accuracy (even under heavy loads) and outstanding process safety, are also supported by the new geometry.
The XPHT1604.
ERGE inserts fully meet the demand for a smooth-cutting geometry with low power input for machining centers and CNC milling machines with low drive power.
This insert has, on average, a 10 to 15% lower cutting force and power requirement than similar XPHT and XPNT inserts.The ERGE geometry also offers sinificant reductions in both noise and vibration when compared with conventional XPHT geometries.The new XPHT1604.
ERGE is more positive than the XPHT insert by 10deg radially and by 3.5deg in the axially.
Depending on the operating conditions and workpiece material, a feed per tooth fz of between 0.12 to 0.32 mm can be achieved.
This insert is available in Widia carbide grades TN7525, TN7535, TN450,TN5515 and the TTI25 Widia cermet grade for machining steel, stainless steel and cast iron.
