New system for grooving and parting off

A new system for grooving and parting off system — the S234 — has been developed by Paul Horn GmbH especially for large grooving depths. Available in the UK from Ringwood-based subssidiary Horn Cutting Tools Ltd, the double-edged system enables a maximum depth of cut of 33mm. This means that diameters up to 65mm can be parted off reliably and economically. The combination of high grooving depths, rigid clamping, high-performance chip breaker geometry and internal cooling makes the system extremely attractive in terms of price/performance ratio.

The inserts are available in cutting widths of 2 and 3mm and the corner radii are 0.2 and 0.3mm respectively. The sintered EN geometry ensures reliable chip removal. Depending on the material to be machined, the inserts are available in AS45 and IG65 grades. Square shank holders in sizes 20 x 20mm and 25 x 25mm ensure stable clamping. Horn also offers reinforced grooving blades and tool holders for the modular parting and grooving system. All types are equipped with internal coolant supply.
