The carbide insert box tool is equipped with a special self-releasing mechanism that moves away from the stock at the same time the turret pulls away from the workpiece. With this new machining innovation, you can eliminate scroll marks caused by cutter drag. Scrolling occurs when the cutter leaves the workpiece on standard carbide insert box tools. Not with the new TC-R box tool. Carbide insert box tools are used in the turrets of screw machines and turret lathes for taking extra heavy, rapid cuts in workpieces.

By using triangular carbide throw-away inserts, you get higher production per cutting edge, and you remove 30% to 50% more stock than with conventional cutters. You can change from one edge to another in less than a minute. Center line is maintained when replacing the insert. Chips are controlled for any speed or feed rate or material by a patented chip breaker.

Extra-high roller blocks are available to provide support on an unfinished diameter of a workpiece.

Carbide rollers and pins are available for extended wear.

Standard carbide inserts have 1/64″ radius on corners; insert with 1/32″ radius are available and must be used with rollers that have a 1/64″ chamfer.
