Tungaloy-NTK UK is giving the small turned parts industry a “shot-in-the-arm” with a multitude of offers on its latest range of advanced turning technologies. As part of its 2024 promotional offering, the company has a number of special offers that range across the company’s expansive range of small-part turning, high-feed milling and indexable drilling lines.

As a manufacturer of cutting tool innovations for the small turned parts sector, Tungaloy-NTK UK has a series of enticing offers on its most popular lines with the Duo-Force-Cut, Mini-V-Lock-Groove, Face-Mini-Cut and the Tiny-Internal-Cut among the autumn promotions.

Designed for CNC sliding head turning centres and cam-driven lathes, the Duo-Force-Cut is an innovative range that is ideal for turning parts up to 12 mm in diameter. With the ability to undertake parting-off, front and back turning, threading and grooving, the Duo-Force-Cut can immediately reduce tooling inventory and maximise machining performance. As part of the 2024 promotional offer, Tungaloy-NTK UK is giving away a free toolholder when customers buy ten inserts.

The toolholders are available in shank sizes from 6 by 6 mm to 10 by 10 mm to fit all compact turning centres and their common tool platten types and configurations. Furthermore, the free toolholder has a rigid and ground insert seat with an optimised clamping screw design that minimises movement, improves repeatability and creates a stable environment for high-quality precision machining whilst protecting unused cutting edges during machining. The Duo-Force-Cut is applicable for a wide range of applications with insert geometries and grades available for parting-off, front turning, back turning, threading, and grooving with insert groove widths from 0.5 to 1 mm. The products are designed for machining everything from low carbon steel to alloy steel, stainless, aluminium and copper alloys, titanium and superalloys with high performance levels.

For machining intricate and detailed work, Tungaloy-NTK UK has introduced its Mini-V-Lock-Groove range of high-precision grooving and threading tools. Perfect for sliding head and CNC turning centres, the Mini-V-Lock-Groove delivers high performance in both grooving and threading with exceptional accuracy and reliability. This performance is credited to a V-shaped insert pocket that securely clamps the insert whilst providing maximum machining clearance. With a secure V-shaped insert seat and high pressure through coolant nozzles directed to both the rake and face cutting edges, swarf evacuation, insert life and machining performance are all significantly improved.

With slim shank toolholders available from 8 by 8 mm to 12 by 12 mm, the Mini-V-Lock-Groove is available as a toolholder with interchangeable inserts or as a modular head system with the corresponding Modu-Mini-Turn heads and shanks. Like the Duo-Force-Cut, Tungaloy-NTK UK offers a vast selection of VGP insert grades for grooving and VGT inserts for threading applications in steel and stainless. For lights-out machining, Tungaloy-NTK UK is offering manufacturers the opportunity to buy a pack of ten inserts and get a free toolholder or buy ten inserts and get one CHP toolholder or CHP head with an additional 50 percent discount.

Complementing the Mini-V-Lock-Groove tools is the Face-Mini-Cut, the new benchmark in deep face grooving. Specifically developed for deep grooving applications, the Face-Mini-Cut can groove up to 10 mm DAXN and 9 mm deep. The impressive machining parameters are the combined result of an extremely rigid insert clamping system, inserts with a sharp cutting edge and optimised geometry with a “chip redirector” and an advanced SH7025 PVD grade.

Providing high levels of stability and precision with exceptional tool life and surface quality, this tool effectively removes chips with its through coolant system and chip redirector that prevents bird nesting and ensures a clean cutting area by rapidly removing swarf from the cutting area. The result is prolonged unmanned operation with the confidence that the machine can be left unattended to maximise your profitability. To maximise your profitability even further, Tungaloy-NTK UK is now giving machine shops the opportunity to try this new system with an offer to buy ten inserts and receive a corresponding toolholder free of charge.

Completing the seasonal offer on small turning tools is the “ultimate” series for internal grooving and thread turning in bores down to 5 mm diameter — the Tiny-Internal-Cut. With a unique clamping system, the Tiny-Internal-Cut is available with a steel or carbide tool body for maximum rigidity and three insert geometries — the MGR for grooving, the MGR with full radius for profiling and undercutting as well as the MTR for threading.

Precisely secured to the through coolant toolholder via a 3-point precision clamping system, the three distinct insert geometries make the Tiny-Internal-Cut a versatile option for manufacturers. With the latest SH7025 PVD insert grade, the Tiny-Internal-Cut guarantees high surface quality and process security, making it the ideal choice for internal machining small-diameter bores. With a quick-change insert system, the Tiny-Internal-Cut is perfect for the modern sliding head machine shop and small turned part manufacturer.
