The TriForce grooving system is a new series of
innovative grooving tools designed to offer
ultimate rigidity and accuracy for stable grooving
applications. The latest addition of internal and face
grooving tools to the series ensures nearly all
grooving application needs are covered.
The modular system allows a variable tool
selection whilst maintaining the important, overall
rigidity and clamping strength. Additionally, a
wide variety of inserts for the TRIFORCE range
makes it possible to cover a diverse area of
machining applications, ensuring high efficiency,
precision machining.
Pioneering TriForce system of clamping
The clamping system ensures that the blade is
securely located from 3 directions, SIDE, FRONT and
TOP. This leads to high tool rigidity, comparable
to a mono block type holder and able to produce
results of equal quality
Additionally, the modular system improves tool
management by reducing stock of costly mono-block
holders and has the benefit that one tool holder
can be used with several different blades. These
blades are interchangeable so that different
lengths can be used for different applications and
also if tool breakage occurs, it is only necessary
to change the blade, making it economically
advantageous over a mono-block types.
A wide variety of inserts
Insert widths are available in 10 types ranging from 2.0 ~ 6.35mm.
Corner radii types are available as standard, with 4 sizes of radii, from 0.2 to 0.8mm.
Additionally, 5 different chip breakers are offered to cover various applications such as grooving,
parting off, turning and copying.
Good chip control and excellent surface finishes can be obtained with the renowned Miracle coated
VP10RT and VP20RT grades for steel machining. Additionally, 2 new grades are available, a CVD
coated grade MY5015 for cast iron and steel and a Cermet grade NX2525 for finishing. Furthermore,
a long life CBN grade MB8025, is also available for finishing hardened steel.
