New sintered chip-breaking geometries for the S274 tool system
With the expansion of the S274 tool system, HORN is strategically broadening its portfolio for grooving and turning. New sintered chip-breaker geometries ensure improved chip control, greater process reliability and more cost-effective machining on Swiss-type lathes.
For grooving and parting off, HORN is adding narrow grooving widths of 0.8 mm (0.031") and 0.6 mm (0.236") to the precision-sintered .1A chip-breaker geometry. The new variants enable a significant reduction in material loss whilst also supporting reliable chip formation, even with narrow cutting widths. The geometry is universally suitable for a variety of materials and covers feed rates ranging from 0.03 to 0.12 mm/rev (0.0012 to 0.0047"/rev)
The new inserts are available as type RS274 and as the RE274 variant featuring a pressed-in threaded insert for RH274 toolholders. HORN offers the inserts in the carbide grades TH35 and IG35. Due to the optimised chip-breaker geometry, users benefit from improved chip control and high process reliability during grooving and parting off.
In addition, HORN is expanding the S274 system to include the new sintered chip-breaker geometries .NF and .PR. The .NF geometry has been specially developed for grooving and longitudinal turning, whilst the .PR geometry is designed for back turning. Both geometries ensure controlled chip formation and stable machining processes, particularly on Swiss-type lathes. The .NF geometry is suitable for feed rates of 0.02 to 0.1 mm/rev (0.0008" to 0.0039"/rev) during grooving and longitudinal turning. The .PR geometry covers the same feed rate range for back turning. Both types are universally applicable to various materials and are also available in grades TH35 and IG35.
With these new geometries, HORN is specifically expanding the range of applications for the S274 system for demanding grooving and turning operations. Users benefit from high process reliability, improved chip control and cost-effective machining, even with narrow grooving widths and complex machining tasks.
