Iscar 3P series chipformers boost turning operations
Iscar's 3P series turning chipbreakers are formulated to reduce the size of chips removed from workpieces, which consequently provides efficient chip removal from conveyor systems.
Three chipformers make up the range, F3P, M3P and R3P for finishing, medium and rough turning of steel. Typical of the Iscar inserts that benefit from 3P series chipformers is the IsoTurn line.
The F3P chipbreaker has positive rake angles for smooth finish-cutting, reduced cutting forces and insert wear, leading to increased tool life, says Iscar. The machining application area is 0.40-2.0 mm depth of cut and 0.05-0.25 mm/rev.
The M3P chipbreaker is aimed at the medium machining of steel, having a reinforced cutting edge. Cutting data includes 0.5-6.0 mm depth of cut and 0.15-0.6 mm/rev.
Finally, the R3P chipbreaker is for rough machining of steel and offers a machining application range of 4.0-12.0 mm depth of cut and 0.4-1.0 mm/rev.
