Parting & Grooving
Profiling

When machining components with complex shapes CoroCut offers great opportunities for rationalization. Since one single tool can be used instead of right and left hand conventional tools, the tool range is minimised. This results in fewer tool changes and more room in the turret.

Using profiling inserts is often a good way of removing a lot of material in a short time. The stability of the CoroCut system offers strong possibility to use high cutting data.

The round shaped inserts have dedicated geometries e.g. RM for medium feed and tougher conditions, precision ground RO for stainless steel materials and other sticky materials. AM is a profiling geometry with very sharp and positive edge dedicated for non-ferrous materials e.g. aluminium. For machining hardened steel RE is available plus the RS geometry for finishing of non-ferrous materials.
