When used with Penta 34 inserts, the company’s PCHR/L-34-JHP tools help to reduce, or even eliminate, built-up edge, especially when machining stainless steel and high temperature alloys, Iscar says. The tools are said to deliver removal rates up to three times greater than conventional flood coolant systems, while increasing tool life by up to 100%.
As the coolant stream is not interrupted by the chips, as occurs with external flushing coolant, early users report the elimination of chip jamming, much faster cutting and significantly longer edge life when performing outer and inner diameter turning, grooving and parting.
