APPLICATION EXAMPLES

VOS400

High rigidity design

Arranging the inserts vertically absorbs the principal cutting force through the thickness of the insert and achieves extremely high rigidity.

Easy to clamp insert

Inserts are screwed into the side of the holder, this simplifies clamping and unclamping for superior usability.

Unique vertical insert

• 8 usable corners with high strength cutting edge.
• The fracture resistance is significantly improved due to a convex curve cutting edge and a specially shaped relief face.
• Maximum depth of cut is 10mm.

ASX400

ASX is a well-balanced cutter for positive insert type that improves fracture resistance and reduces cutting resistance.
Effective for when workpiece with small thickness is cut and when heat generation is needed to suppress because of low cutting resistance, and ideal for fi nish cutting.

HIGH RELIABILITY

Uses a carbide shim and proprietary Anti-Fly-Insert (A.F.I) to prevent the inserts from moving when machining. Additionally the clamp screw uses TORXPLUS, for high clamping force ensuring high reliability.

LOW CUTTING RESISTANCE

Due to the 3D design of the cutting edge and a large rake angle, high cutting edge sharpness has been achieved with reduced cutting resistance.

EASY TO USE

Employs a screw on type mechanism, therefore inserts can easily be loaded. Additonally when indexing the insert, it is not necessary to remove the screw completely.
