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 finish-
ing of non-ferrous materials.
Profiling
RM for first choice for profiling geometry.
RD for precision grand sharp profiling geometry.
AM for grand sharp geometry for aluminium materials.
RS for diamond tipped profiling insert for non ferrous material.
RE for CBN-tipped profiling insert for hardened material.
