KCFM™ 45
Cast Iron Fine Finishing
KCFM 45 provides high precision pocket seats with a run-out of two microns, exceeding highest surface requirements.
The super-positive geometries of semi-finishing and wiper inserts provide low cutting forces to manage vibrations, especially on thin-walled cast iron components, covering dry and wet machining conditions.
Ceramic and PcBN grades available. Allowing for higher speeds and thus higher productivity. Leading to lower cost per part.
- Fixed pockets for semi-finishing inserts
- Adjustable pockets for cartridges with wiper inserts, and for cartridges with semi-finishing inserts
- Pocket seat numbering system, reducing setup time
Cutter body features fixed and adjustable insert pockets, providing two options:
- Load all pockets with semi finishing inserts when surface requirements are lower. For the adjustable pockets, cartridges for semi finishing inserts are available.
- For highest surface requirements, load adjustable pockets with wiper inserts by using the wiper insert cartridge.
