2.4.1 PENTACUT Threading Insert with 5 Cutting Edges for
THREAD TURNING PENTA is an all ground insert where each cutting edge on the pentagonal shaped insert
External Threading
is equipped with a unique chipformer that provides excellent chip control, short and easily
exposed chips, high accuracy and surface quality. The insert is tangentially mounted on a
side of the holder, positioned against two peripheral contact surfaces to ensure accuracy
of the center height. Clamping of the insert is by a side torx screw. The torx screw can be
activated from either side of the holder to enable insert indexing (rotation) without having to
remove the holder from the machine turret, i.e. easy and fast edge indexing from either side
of the holder. In case of edge breakage, the tool will survive, and other cutting corners still
can be used.
The PENTACUT line offers solutions for partial profiles and full profiles for most popular
standards and is suitable for the production of external threading. The PENTA insert has a
strong design and, combined with a very rigid clamping system, enables threading at very
high machining parameters. This insert can be used for threading between walls to enable
complete part production on bar feeder machines.
PENTACUT offers a very stable and economical solution
