Available from Alcester-based Seco Tools (UK) Ltd (www.secotools.com), the 150.10-Jeti system, which comprises parting-off blades and square-shank blocks, has been expanded to include a VDI block design.

Adapters directly hold 150.10-Jeti parting-off blades in the VDI turret and ensure the delivery of high-pressure coolant to the cutting zone, without the use of hoses.

Coolant is delivered internally to the adapter via the turret and then directed to the cutting zone through coolant holes located in the blades.

This fast and direct transfer of coolant to the cutting edge, achieved by using Seco’s Jetstream technology, results in fast heat removal, improved chip evacuation and superior surface finish, says the company.

The 150.10-Jeti range now includes face-mount adapters for VDI30, VDI40 and VDI50 turrets, plus star-mount adapters for VDI25, VDI30 and VDI40 turrets.

The adapters hold 20 and 25mm HSS parting-off blades, while the range is also compatible with MDT-reinforced blades.
