Cutting-off system processes small parts
on lathes
Based on existing 16mm long double-edged grooving inserts, a special cutting-off system is designed to work small parts on Swiss-type machines or standard lathes.
Walter GB of Bromsgrove, UK, has added a special cut-off system based on 16mm long double-edged grooving inserts and with PVD Tiger coatings, if required, to its GX16 Parting Off monoblock toolholder range Designed especially for the production of small parts on Swiss-type machines the tooling can be used to part-off on standard lathes

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.
With a cutting tool holder in monoblock design having a permanently integrated screw clamp, the locking screw has a 20 deg incline in both radial and axial directions for easy insert changeover.
Accessibility is the major benefit when utilising these toolholders.
Available in grooving widths of 2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm, two insert variants are available both with very sharp cutting edges: CF4 precision sintered and CF6 peripheral ground.
Offered also with PVD Tiger grade designations WSP43 and WSM33, the new cut-off system is ideal for machining all types of steel, cast iron and alloys including difficult-to-machine materials.
The WSP43 and WSM33 were specifically developed for the wide range of cutting speeds encountered when machining to centre, and which regularly produce productivity increases of up to 100% due to their improved process reliability courtesy of a high resistance to flank wear, cratering and thermal cracking.
