New Profiling Geometries Improve Edge-Line Quality

SANDVIK COROMANT announced October 15 it would offer four new insert geometries for its CoroCut 2 parting and grooving platform, including a -RO geometry for nickel-based HRSA materials, and three geometries for parting off: -CF, -CS and -CR. In a statement, Sandvik Coromant said the geometries improve edge-line quality and reduce pip and burr.

According to Jenny Claus, product manager of parting and grooving tools at Sandvik Coromant, previous iterations of the -RO geometry were highly sought after.

“The -RO geometry has long been the most popular insert in the CoroCut 1-2 concept thanks to its sharp edge, tight tolerances and high edge-line quality, which is crucial for demanding aerospace components,” Claus said.

The -CF, -CS and -CR geometries, meanwhile, are parting-off geometries with a variety of features, the company says. The -CF geometry features a positive, light-cutting geometry with low cutting forces; the -CS geometry has a rail interface for stability along with a front angle and a sharp edge for reducing pip and burr; and the -CR geometry includes a new front angle for reducing pip and burr while working with a variety of materials.

The full CoroCut 2 range, according to Coromant, includes inserts and tools for parting-off, external and internal grooving, face grooving and profiling.
