TetraMini-Cut – shaft parking – NS9530
IMPROVE TOOL COST
During external grooving of S35C shaft parking components on a Swiss Lathe, quality issues arose due to holder misalignment when changing inserts outside the machine, and the previous tool often experienced chipping before reaching 1000 parts per edge.
By adopting Tungaloy’s TetraMini-Cut system with grade NS9530, known for its precise insert clamping and stable cutting performance, both insert stability and tool life improved significantly.
The new solution eliminated premature chipping and ensured consistently reliable performance, supporting anticipated production increases for automotive and EV applications.
