ACT’s Microcut inserts approach small components from the best angle

Advanced Carbide Tooling's Microcut range of parting and grooving tools are aimed at the manufacture of the smallest components. Inserts are available from widths of 0.5 to 1.6 mm, with a selection of approach angles to meet the individual needs of the end user. The carbide TiALN coated and HSS/TiN coated inserts offer an 8 mm maximum insert reach permitting parting-off of up to 16 mm solid bar.

The Microcut addition to the range provides the customer with toolholder dimensions down to 8 by 8 mm for particularly small tool platens to 20 by 20 mm shanks for larger parting off applications. Microcut tools have been designed for rapid insert removal and replacement to improve accuracy, repeatability and productivity.
