Features

  • Highly rigid design that firmly clamps the insert with six side restraints located in 3 keyways.
  • The XB series is excellent at suppressing chatter and vibration.
  • Both types of holders, carbide and steel are supplied as standard with internal coolant. External coolant type is also standard for the steel holders, but it can be combined with the internal coolant type SLV sleeve holder.
  • The internal coolant type SLV sleeve holder has a tapered pipe thread at the rear end of the sleeve, allowing direct connection of high-pressure coolant. Supplying copious coolant through the tool provides efficient cooling and improves chip removal. This significantly reduces problems during internal machining.
  • Compared to tapping, which requires a clearance, the XB series can save work material and reduce cycle times. Therefore it is recommended to switch from tapping to using an indexable turning tool.
  • Chamfering before cutting-off reduces the need for a deburring process.
