Chip Breaker and New Carbide Grade for Innovative Micromachining Solutions



Vargus has introduced new boring micromachining solutions in the GROOVEX Microscope family of products. The Microscope line offers solutions for micro boring, grooving, chamfering and threading in bores as small as 1.0 mm. The Microscope line offers a large and extended range of single-ended inserts and full range of toolholders with a simple and secure clamping system.

A new Boring Chip Breaker tool offers a solution for boring blind holes, creating helical chips and preventing tangled chips in the workpiece.

Furthermore, Microscope boring tools will now feature a new TiAlN PVD coated VTX grade, in addition to the already available multipurpose TiCN PVD coated VBX grade. The VTX is an excellent grade for Boring applications in medium-to-high cutting speeds and dry conditions, and for preventing peeling and chipping of the tool. Grooving and threading tools are offered in the VTX grade as semi-standards. The VTX carbide grade for Boring applications is also extended to offer improved stability and longer tool life.

Vargus also has introduced five new boring and chamfering applications: boring 20°, boring 90°, back boring, boring & chamfering 45° and face chamfering 45°, as well as a four-flats toolholder.
