This toolholder, for use with Seco®'s range of Snap-Tap® thread turning inserts, features the Anti-Twist™ insert locking system to provide incredibly secure insert holding. The Anti-Twist system has two significant design features.
The first is the use of a solid carbide pin located in the back of the insert pocket that resists distortion and prevents movement of the insert that can occur during machining.
Secondly, the introduction of a new D-style clamp securely pulls the
insert down and into the pocket. The result is increased toolholder
life, less vibrations, greater accuracy and performance of the insert,
plus an overall increase in threading productivity.
Expanding range of direct pressed thread turning inserts
Seco® has
added a third insert chipbreaker geometry to the popular range of
Snap-Tap thread turning tools. The latest addition, called the "A"
chipbreaker, provides consistent machining of numerous thread forms in
both steel and stainless steel. As a direct-pressed insert, it
offers reliable repeatability and precision as well as value for money
- direct pressed inserts can cost up to 20% less when compared to
traditionally ground inserts.
The "A" geometry complements two
other key chipbreaker geometries within the simplified Snap-Tap range,
"A1" and "A2". "A1" is an optimizing geometry for steel components, and
"A2" optimizes performance in stainless steel materials. Both provide
enhanced chip control, which is especially important in I.D. threading
where poor chip evacuation can damage the workpiece and dramatically
reduce both tool life and performance.
All three geometries are featured on Seco®' unique
grade CP500. This grade features a highly wear restistant PVD coating
to provide dependable machining for a large majority of common thread
turning applications.
