Circular saws ground under 'lights out' conditions
The potential for extended production routines including lights-out operation have spurred Harrison Saw and Tool, to invest in a Woodtronic CNC circular saw blade grinder with auto Loader.
All tool bodies within the 50mm to 160mm diameter range are now available with both the standard and enlarged seats for the WKP 25 and WKP 25 inserts for machining steel and cast iron.
The F4042 cutter can now also accommodate radius indexable Tiger.tec inserts - 0.4 to 4 for tool diameters from 25mm to 80mm, and 0.8 to 6 for 40mm to 160mm tools - in WKP 35 for steel and cast iron, and PVD-coated WXP45 for tool steel, titanium, Inconel and other difficult-to-machine materials.
Also new to the F4042 range are precision circumference ground indexable inserts for applications involving highly-precise and stringent surface finish requirements.
Tiger.tec grades WKP25, WKP35, WAK15 and WXP45 are available, as is a version with a smaller than standard chip gullet.
The extensions to the F4042 portfolio are completed by the introduction of indexable inserts for aluminium machining.
Featuring a highly positive geometry, large polished chip groove and sharp cutting edge without K-land, the inserts are available as uncoated or PVD coated to prevent chip adhesion and cutting edge build-up.
