Clamping of CoroCut 1- and 2-edge inserts
The insert clamping system has been designed to counteract high axial forces from both sides. For the smaller inserts (insert seats D-G) a V-profile clamping is used, but for larger inserts (insert seats H-L) the unique rail design adds superior stability to the insert clamping. The rail system should be first choice for profiling and turning applications (generating side forces) giving increased cutting data and highest stability.
The force holding the insert is generated by two different designs.
1. Screw clamping.
2. Spring clamping.
Spring clamping
Parting blades have deep accessibility in narrow areas due to spring clamping. This allows for quick and easy clamping and loosening in the same operation, due to an excentric key.
Screw clamping
All our solid tool holders/bars have integrated screw clamping. This gives very stable and secure clamping of the insert and is recommended for applications where large cutting forces arise (together with rail insert seat). This is particularly important when combined with small cutting depths as in longitudinal turning, profiling and face grooving.
Insert seats
The programme is based on eight different insert seats depending on insert widths and geometries, see the table.

Q-Cut
The Q-Cut system is based on only a V-shaped form, ideal for straight cutting forces, e.g. parting off applications. Q-Cut have 7 different insert sizes of 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 80.
The tool holder have a screw and spring clamping design. |  |

Parting blades
Intended for parting-off and deep grooving applications. For mounting in the machine a separate tool block must be used having normal shank sizes or Coromant Capto mounting.
• In order to avoid vibration and to achieve best tool life adjust the overhang, ar, of the blade to obtain the shortest possible overhang to suit the application. See drawing. Max ar is 55 mm.
• Choose a 2-edged insert having an ar larger than the cutting depth, if not possible choose a 1-edged insert, see Main catalogue information.
• If using screw clamped reinforced blades check the cutting depth limitations in separate diagrams in Main catalogue.
• Use the separate coolant adaptor for the tool block in order to achieve the best coolant supply. | |

Coromant Capto and solid shank holders
 |
Short version | Long version |
Intended for grooving, turning and profiling applications in Coromant Capto and shank holder versions. Available in right hand, left hand and neutral style in short and long versions (ar).
This programme also includes a separate small part machining programme in smaller shank sizes with an angled insert clamping screw for easier changing of insert.
To minimise risk of vibration and deflection always choose:
• Toolholder with smallest possible overhang.
• Toolholder with maximum shank dimension.
• Blade or holder with maximum blade width (largest possible insert seat size). |

Face grooving shank holders
Intended for face grooving applications. Available in 0° and 90°, right and left hand style versions covering a large area of first cut diameters.
Covers first cut diameter from 34 - 400 mm. All made in B-curved version, A-curved version to be ordered as Tailor Made or use the modular CoroCut SL system where both A- and B-curved blades are available.
• The first cut must be made within the min. and max. limits for the holder – see Main catalogue or separate marking on the holder.
• Always start from the outer diameter and move towards the centre.
• Choose the correct tool (A or B sweep, right or left hand style) depending on your machine set-up and workpiece rotation. See below.

Shank holders for shallow grooving
These holders are universal for all shallow grooving and face grooving applications. They are often the only solution when Tailor Made inserts with complicated shapes are used. One seat size can take inserts which normally have other seat sizes up to a limited cutting depth (ar).
Available in 0° and 90°, right and left hand style holders.
| Holder seat size | Insert seat size | Max depth of cut ar, mm |

Internal bars
 |
Profiling bar | Grooving bar |
Intended for internal grooving applications. Available in right and left hand style bars from 16 to 50 mm diameter. These bars are equipped for internal coolant.
Also 20° angled bars for internal profiling are available.
Bars up to 25 mm diameter are cylindrical and designed to be used in EasyFix sleeves. Bars above 25 mm diameter have flats.
• Always mount the bars with shortest possible overhang in order to avoid vibration and deflection.
• Apply large amounts coolant in order to both cool down the insert and also help chip evacuation and avoid breakage.
• Use EasyFix sleeves to achieve the best set-up, avoiding vibration and giving correct centre height and cutting angles. |

| Blades with a coolant connector allow cutting fluid to be concentrated at the back of the insert, see drawing. |
| Adaptors making it easy to fit coolant tubes both over and under the blades. |
