Suitable applications include turning of parts with many different diameters, complicated profiles and grooves. For complex parts of this type, several standard and special tools can be replaced by one Seco MDT tool. Savings can be achieved through fewer tool changes and reduced stock. Seco MDT has a unique insert clamping method - Secoloc; a combination of top clamp and serrated contact surfaces between the insert and toolholder offers superb stability. The relatively long length of the inserts also increases the stability.
The Benefits
Improved reliability Increased cutting data Good surface finish Less risk of vibrations Good repeatability (+/- 0, 03)
M5 Chip breaker
This robust insert with its highly protected chip groove tackles the most demanding operations, heavy interruptions and rough skin successfully. An open chip groove with well-adapted cutting angles ensures high feed rates and large cuts for efficient machining and best economy. Ductile materials can easily be handled with full control by the fine-tuned chip groove design. For obtaining optimal tool life in a variety of materials the balanced rake face minimizes the heat transferred to the insert.
M5 is the unsurpassable geometry for a great variety of workpiece materials such as steel, stainless steel, cast iron and troublesome super alloys.
