Tool rigidity comparison

The toolholder rigidity has been developed to withstand high cutting loads, ensuring reliable and productive cut‑off operations.

*Offers the highest clamping strength among comparable toolholders currently available on the market (according to internal research).

Cutting performance

① A straight cutting edge improves edge toughness under high loads
② Chips are folded from both edges to form tight, well‑controlled curls
③ A high rake angle increases sharpness and reduces cutting resistance
