Insert Guide
| Insert Style | Series | Application | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Ball Insert |
XMB110A | Steel <40 HRC |
Medium sharp cutting edge with Excellent chip control, ideal for softer and longer chipping steels |
| XMB120C | Pre-Hardened Steel 40-50HRC Cast Iron |
Stronger cutting edge, ideal for machining tool steels. Excellent tool life and surface finish | |
| XMB260T | Hardened Steel 50-65HRC |
Strongest cutting edge and ultrafine micrograin carbide substrate. Suitable for machining hardened steels | |
| XMB130A | Stainless Steel |
Specially designed cutting edge with web-thinning geometry, perfect for machining stainless steel without causing work hardening | |
| XMB110D | Graphite, Aluminium & Abrasive Non-Ferrous Metals |
DLC coating (diamond like carbon) has exceptional wear resistance in abrasive materials such as graphite, high silicon Aluminium and plastics. Long tool life and high-quality surface roughness can be achieved | |
Ball Insert Full Radius 220° |
XMM110V | 5 Axis Machining Steels <45HRC |
Full radius insert for complex 5 axis machining or creating undercuts in mould & die machining |
Corner Radius |
XMR260T | Hardened Steel 50-65HRC |
Special coating for longer-lasting cutting of high hardened steel. Wide range of radius available from 0.3 to 3.2mm |
| XMR120C | Pre Hardened Steels <50HRC Cast Iron |
Special geometry and coating ideal for use on carbon steels, alloy steels, tool steels, hardened steels. Wide range of radius available from 0.3 to 3.2mm | |
High Feed Corner Radius |
XMF110V | Steels <50HRC |
Feed rates over 7m/min can be achieved. When combined with dedicated high feed holders, better results are possible. Ideal for high-performance roughing and finishing |
i-X Mill Holders
YG-1 i-X Mill holders come with a steel shank or carbide shank for high rigidity or longer reach applications.
The strong clamping screw and high precision insert location ensures high accuracy during machining
Ball Insert Holders
| Holder | Geometry | Application | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbide | Straight Shank (With reduced neck) |
For use with ball nosed inserts Short to long reach applications |
Highest rigidity, especially in long reach applications, exceptional surface finish and improved tool life due to reduced vibration |
| Steel | Straight Shank (With reduced neck) |
For use with ball nosed inserts Short to medium reach applications with extra clearance |
Clearance on the neck diameter prevents interference when machining up to a shoulder |
| Straight Shank (with tapered neck) |
Higher rigidity than straight neck due to taper design, available in smaller diameters |
*Corner radius insert can be used with the ball holder. For a better precision in cutting, it is recommended to use the corner radius holder
Corner Radius / High Feed Holders
| Holder | Geometry | Application | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel | Straight Shank (With reduced neck) |
For use with corner radius/high feed inserts suitable for short to long reach applications | Clearance on the neck diameter prevents interference when machining up to a shoulder |
| Straight Shank (with tapered neck) |
For use with ball nosed inserts Short to medium reach applications with extra clearance |
Higher accuracy when using corner radius inserts higher rigidity than straight neck due to taper design, available in smaller diameters |
*Corner radius insert can be used with the ball holder. For a better precision in cutting, it is recommended to use the corner radius holder
