105 INSERT GEOMETRY U20

Swarf problems in small bores (diam. 4 and above) solved! One of the biggest challenges in small-diameter internal machining is controlling swarf. Cutting geometry can help. It guides and shapes the chip and brings it to breaking point. Until now, this has been achieved by using cutting geometries that have been specially laser-cut or ground. But this involved a substantial cost for the insert. With the new type 105 Supermini insert, Horn has succeeded in developing a universal boring tool with a sintered cutting geometry. When in use, the tool offers a high level of process reliability thanks to good chip control. The cutting geometry extends right up to the tip radius of the insert. This guarantees chip control even for small passes. The geometry can be used universally for different material groups and is suitable for internal turning, face facing, copying and back turning.Horn has not only optimised the geometry, but also the insert blank with greater rigidity and an even more stable cutting zone. The coolant supply has also been revised. Horn offers the inserts in three lengths (15.0 mm, 20.0 mm and 25.0 mm) and in TH35 and IG35 grades as standard. The nose radius is 0.2 mm. The tool is suitable for use from a diameter of 4 mm - a world first!
