Clamping Styles
* For multi-lock holders: Rotate the eccentric lock pin counterclockwise until the insert drops on, and then rotate the eccentric pin clockwise to secure the insert against the side of the holder. Install the top clamp to hold down the insert.
D – Double-Clamp System
• For negative-style inserts
• Powerful single-lever screw clamping
• Spring design releases clamp automatically
• Optimized for chip flow
M – Multi-Lock System*
• For negative-style inserts
• Eccentric lock pin secures the insert against the side
• Top clamp provides rigid downward clamping
• Can use a wide variety of insert styles
S – Screw-On System
• For positive-style inserts
• Top clamping by screw for screw-on inserts
• Compact design for reliability
• Does not interfere with chip flow
Insert Styles
C-Style Inserts – Diamond 80°
For external machining and facing. The large point angle is very rigid, and good for rough machining. This is the most commonly used insert.
D-Style Inserts – Diamond 55°
The smaller point angle of this insert is more versatile for finishing and detail work, but it has less cutting-edge strength than other geometries
V-Style Inserts – Diamond 35°
The smaller point angle of this insert is more versatile for finishing and detail work, but it has less cutting-edge strength than other geometries.
W-Style Inserts – Trigon 80°
This insert has 3 cutting edges per side. The 80° cutting angle provides high cutting-edge strength for roughing, but the depth of cut is limited by the short cutting edge.
LARGE NOSE ANGLE
• Stronger cutting edge
• Higher cutting forces
• More vibration
• Higher feedrates
SMALL NOSE ANGLE
• Better access to features
• Lower cutting forces
• Weaker cutting edge
• Lower vibrations
