The latest cutting tool developments from Ceratizit

Key among the innovations announced is the new CTPX710 multi-purpose insert grade from Ceratizit. With the latest Dragonskin coating and carbide substrate this new grade delivers outstanding performance when machining stainless steel and super alloys, but also across many other applications including non-ferrous materials.

For customers only one grade of insert now covers virtually every application, saving cost and inventory while also simplifying the selection process for operators.

From WNT there is a wide variety of new products announced, including the full revamp of extremely popular SilverLine range of solid carbide milling cutters.

With such a popular range as SilverLine, great care has been taken to ensure users see a marked improvement over the previous cutters. The result is typically 50% greater tool life in terms of metres of cut and 30% increase in process security. Several changes to the cutters are behind these increases, including updated Dragonskin coating, optimised core geometry and improved chip clearance.

The MultiLock exchangeable head milling system is also brand new, providing significant advantages compared to solid carbide milling cutters when used in machining applications such as aerofoils and mould and die, where long overhangs are common.

The requirement for less carbide to be used in MultiLock cutters, along with developments in sintering technology that eliminates the need for grinding of the cutting edges, means cost are lower and the environmental impact is reduced due to less raw material required in their manufacture.
