KORLOY has launched TB5000, a 3-corner grooving tool for high precision machining.
Korloy’s TB series has expanded with the development of the TB5000 (inscribed circle diameter of 15.875 mm), following the existing TB3000 (9.525 mm) and TB4000 (12.7 mm). TB5000 inserts are available in grooving up to 6.5 mm deep with a wide variety of cutting edge widths ranging from 0.5 mm to 3.5 mm.
The inserts were designed to have wide supporting areas along the outer edge of the equilateral triangle-shaped insert to maximize clamping stability. A double clamping system, using both a clamp and screw, also enables stable machining at high speeds, high feeds, and high interruptions.
Additionally, TB5000’s specialized chip breakers help to minimize cutting force and improve chip evacuation, which results in high productivity and stability in automated operations.
The combination of upgraded edge treatment and the PVD coating on the PC5300 secures excellent productivity with stable and longer tool life.
