Filed under Mitsubishi Carbide, Recent News
- FH chipbreaker is our first recommendation for finish machining of general and alloy steel
- Double sided chipbreaker
- Stable chip control even at small DOC
- Can provide chip control at DOC@IPR from .010″@.001″ to .070″@.008″
- Use cermet grades NX2525 and NX3035 for finest finishes, especially at low SFM’s
- Finish machining of general and alloy steel
- Where chip control is paramount such as when robotic handling of workpieces is employed
- Chip control preventing part surface finish damage
- Chip control allowing constant robotic part handling
- Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has recently developed and manufactured new corner R0.2mm inserts for the FH breaker series for finishing.
- A finishing breaker ensuring stable chip control even at small depths of cut and low feeds.
- Inserts are available in CVD coated grades UE6110, UE6020, US735 and cermet grades NX2525 and NX3035.
