The inserts are designed with high positive rake angles, making them ideal for parting tubes, thin-walled parts, and small diameters.
Insert Types and Dimensions
The document lists several PENTA insert models, each with specific dimensions and recommended machining data. For example, the PENTA 34N-C insert has five cutting edges and is suitable for hard materials. The dimensions and recommended feed rates for each insert type are provided, along with their specific applications.
Machining Recommendations
For optimal performance, the document recommends selecting the appropriate width of cut (W.O.C.) and depth of cut (D.O.C.) based on the material and application. It suggests a practical D.O.C. to W.O.C. ratio of approximately 8:1 for alloy steel. Additional factors such as holder or blade size, insert support, and machine power are also discussed.
Clamping and Insert Positioning
The document emphasizes the importance of proper clamping and insert positioning to ensure reliable machining. It describes the use of self-clamped and screw-clamped inserts for different diameters and provides instructions for clamping and extracting inserts using specific tools.
Practical Suggestions
To reduce burr and improve surface finish, the document suggests adjusting feed rates, using inserts with lead angles, and applying cutting fluid effectively. It also provides guidelines for selecting corner radius and lead angle types based on specific applications.
Material and Grade Selection
The document includes a selection guide for parting grades, recommending specific grades for different material groups such as steel, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys, and nonferrous materials. It provides machining data for various material conditions, including hardness and ISO material classifications.
Conclusion
This technical document serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting and using PENTA inserts in parting and grooving applications. It provides detailed specifications, machining recommendations, and practical tips to optimize performance and ensure high-quality machining results.

er ingty Deliv abili Prof it ISCA The Double Sided DO-GRIP Insert with Internal Coolant Holes The insert features a coolant hole that passes through the insert, with an outlet near the cutting edge. The DGNC inserts were designed for parting and grooving on stainless steel and high temperature alloys. When machining stainless steel or high temperature alloys, the temperature near the cutting edge becomes very high. These materials tend to adhere to the cutting edge, causing built-up edge. This phenomenon can be reduced or even eliminated, by efficient cooling of the cutting edge. stainless steel...
