Highlights

The new grades are based on TiAlN coating which significantly improves toughness and wear resistance, assuring longer tool life.

Both grades exhibit better resistance at unstable conditions and interrupted cut. The new grades are available on TANG-GRIP and DO-GRIP inserts.

IC1030 (M25-M45) (P30-P45)
IC1030 - TiAlN coating overlays the very tough substrate IC28 for wide range of applications at high feeds and low to medium speeds. The grade is recommended for interrupted cut and machining at unstable conditions.
The cutting parameters should be same as for IC830.

IC1010 ISO (M15-M30) (P15-P30)
IC1010 - TiAlN coating overlays the sub-micron grade IC08. It is recommended for general parting and grooving applications with medium to high cutting speeds and low to medium feeds.
The cutting parameters should be the same as for IC808.

IC1030 is intended to replace and phase out gradually older grades IC328 and 928.
IC1010 will replace and phase out IC308 and IC1028 grades.
The current insert range with IC1010 and IC1030 grades is introductory and IC1010 and IC1030 will be expanded in the near future.

• JT chipformer has the basic positive configuration of the J-type and a reinforced negative frontal edge; most suitable for soft materials at low to medium feeds
(1) Sharp corners
(2) Single-ended insert
(3) No depth limit


• Feed values for grade IC20 should be decreased by 50%
(1) Inserts with coolant holes, recommended coolant pressure 10 bar minimum
(2) Single-ended insert.
(3) No depth limit






• The LFT chipformer features basically the same design as the LF chipformer, except that it was reinforced by a T-land to improve its durability in interrupted-cut or on hard materials applications.
It can be applied at higher feeds than the LF chipformer









• JT chipformer has the basic positive configuration of the J-type and a einforced negative frontal edge; most suitable for soft materials at low to medium feeds.
(1) Sharp corners cannot be used on TGSF slitting cutters
