CUT-GRIP

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document announces the introduction of the new GIMT Groove-Turn chipformer, designed for cut-grip pressed inserts. It is optimized for four applications: Grooving, Partial Grooving, Turning, and Finish Turning, with standard widths of 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm.

Product Features
The GIMT inserts are engineered to excel in all four applications, providing efficient chip control across various machining conditions. They are particularly optimized for steel materials but also perform well on stainless steel and high-temperature materials. The inserts offer a high-performance, cost-effective solution, reducing the need for multiple insert types and stock requirements, thus enhancing user flexibility.

Chipbreaker Elements
The chipbreaker design includes a side turning land with a varying rake angle for improved chip formation, a variable width frontal land for early chip control at low feed rates, and an "F" style frontal deflector for enhanced chip control in full-width grooving. The optimized radius area ensures excellent chip control in small ap for both partial grooving and finish turning.

Performance and Testing
Test reports indicate the GIMT inserts perform effectively in external grooving operations on various steel materials, with specific parameters for cutting speed (Vc), feed rate (f), and depth of cut (D.O.C) provided for different insert models (GIMT 304, 404, 608).

Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed dimensions and recommended machining data for each insert model, including cutting width (CW), edge radius (RE), and back width (BW). The inserts are suitable for both tough and hard materials, with specified ranges for turning and grooving feed rates.
