Arno Werkzeuge USA has developed an SE grooving and part-off system. This cutting tool and insert system is designed to optimize turning, grooving, parting-off, and copy turning operations. The double-V insert seat design helps provide an accurate and secure location. In combination with a fixed stop, it ensures precise insert repeatability, according to the company.
The series is available in numerous configurations and sizes. It includes inserts with groove widths from 0.079 to 0.236 in., with three geometries and available in five different grades. The geometries and grades available include:
- M2 sintered geometry designed for grooving, turning, and copy turning of steel and stainless steel.
- T1 sintered geometry for machining steels and stainless steel and universal geometry, which is suitable for thin-wall machining.
- ALU high-precision ground geometry for nonferrous materials.
