TOOLING AND WORKHOLDING
INSERTS, HOLDER FOR
SWISS-STYLE APPLICATIONS
LENGTHEN TOOL LIFE,
INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
Carmex Precision Tools LLC has released Swiss-
Line, the latest addition to its family of tooling for
Swiss-style applications. It combines a polygon
insert and holder for external turning, grooving,
parting and threading. The high-precision-ground
inserts are constructed of solid carbide with a
specialty coating designed to lengthen tool life and
increase productivity. Developed for machining a
range of materials, a selection of inserts can be
used with the same toolholders. Holders are coated
to resist abrasion for a increased service life.
The polygon shape, combined with Carmex's
special clamping system, is designed to enable
fast change-over, and the carbide/coating com-
bination is engineered to withstand the stresses
of hard machining small parts.
