New inserts from ISCAR for parting soft and ductile materials
ISCAR is introducing the PENTA IQ D40 with a PB chipformer for parting and grooving bearing steel, soft steel and other ductile materials.
Currently, PENTA D40 inserts are available only with the “C” type chipformer that features a negative land suitable for parting at high feeds and for hard materials.
In order to cover the application range of low to medium feed ranges, and for machining soft and ductile materials, ISCAR is introducing new PENTA D40 inserts equipped with the PB chipformer.
The PB chipformer, which was successfully introduced on the PENTA 34 inserts, features a similar chipformer design like the “C” type, only it has a 0° frontal edge rake inclination and no land (the cutting edge is reinforced by a larger honing than the standard). This chipformer configuration exerts low cutting forces suitable for machining materials like bearing steel and soft materials. The PB chipformer can successfully cover the application range of the “J” type chipformer.
