TaeguTec line focuses on small turned parts

TaeguTec has extended its tooling line for small turning centres with the launch of its ChaseMill AXCT 06-L inserts and toolholders. With the continuing trend toward miniature product machining for sectors such as medical and electronics, ChaseMill AXCT 06-L has been developed specifically for this type of application.

The latest insert line has been designed with a high positive rake angle that is optimally designed to reduce cutting resistance, something essential for small part turning. A further advantage of the range is its compatibility with the current line of ChaseMill cutters. All toolholders are available in various standard sizes from 8 to 30 mm.

TaeguTec’s AXCT 06-L insert series features special insert geometries for Swiss-type turning machines with standard toolholders available in various shank holder sizes. Available with several corner radii from 0.02 to 0.4 mm, this indexable line can replace traditional solid end mills to reduce set-up and changeover times. The inserts are available with TaeguTec’s coated TT5525 grade, while the end mill toolholders are offered with diameter options that include 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 20 and 30 mm. Depending upon the tool diameter selected, the ChaseMill is available with one, two, three or five insert seats.
