Parting and grooving tool reduces insert movement

Sandvik Coromant has upgraded its CoroCut 1-2 parting and grooving system. Now known as CoroCut 2, the system provides improved stability, greater flexibility, and better productivity.

Stability is key when working with all parting and grooving operations. The main challenge is keeping the insert in place to minimize all forms of insert movement. The well-established rail interface, previously available on medium and large inserts, offers more precise insert positioning and makes the insert resilient to any lateral forces exerted on it. This rail interface now is available on smaller insert sizes, improving stability in all operations.

The system’s parting blades have been upgraded with internal coolant and an improved clamping finger design, which offers a higher clamping force and better side stability. Toolholders with precision coolant flow have been updated with a screw clamp system, which—combined with the rigid rail insert seat design—keeps insert movement to a minimum without any loss of clamping force, the company states.

This tool line has updated grades and geometries, including GC1225, a wiper design for all parting geometries, and enhanced edge line quality on all inserts.

These tools can be used in all types of parting and grooving applications with cutting depths suitable for double-edged inserts. The related CoroCut QD and CoroCut QF concepts are recommended for larger depths of cut, while CoroCut QI is for internal grooving and face grooving on small diameters.
