ISCAR’s very popular multifunction DR-MF tools family
is being upgraded by new DRG-MF tools which
can carry the XCMT-MF inserts and also a new
insert type, XCMT-MG, designed for internal
grooving.
The new tools and inserts extend the application
range of the current DR-MF tools by adding a
grooving capability to drilling, internal turning/boring,
external turning, and face turning applications.
The new DRG-MF tools differ from the current DRMF
tools by a new pocket design, which features a
rear groove intended to accommodate the second
cutting edge.
The new XCMT-MG inserts with two cutting edges
are made from grade IC808G, which is a submicron
substrate TiAlN multilayer coating.
This coating provides a high degree of reliability
for cutting operations and a most competitive long
edge life.
The new grooving inserts can be used only on righthand
tools.
The new tools further enhance the reduction
of customer inventory costs.
Like the current same size DR-MF tools, the new
tools can carry the XCMT-MF inserts. In addition, they
feature identical major dimensions and cover all the
same applications. Therefore, ISCAR will consider
phasing-out the DR-MF tool in the future.
