Allied Machine launches M geometry insert
Published:
The insert provides industry-leading tool life in stainless steel applications
Allied Machine & Engineering, a leading manufacturer of holemaking and finishing cutting tools, announces the release of the M geometry insert for the GEN3SYS XT Pro high penetration replaceable insert drilling system. The new M geometry insert is designed for all 300 series, 400 series and super duplex stainless steels in addition to other hard-to-machine materials in the ISO M group.
Adding the M geometry insert with Allied’s AM460 coating to the GEN3SYS XT Pro gives machinists access to an insert with industry-leading tool life in stainless steel applications. With a substrate that provides the best balance of toughness and wear resistance necessary to excel in stainless steels, the M geometry is designed for improved chip formation while drilling high penetration rates within industries such as oil and gas, HVAC, automotive, construction, medical and pharmaceutical, and food and kitchenware.
Not only does the M geometry insert achieve better tool life in difficult-to-machine stainless materials, but it also offers consistent failure modes to reduce the risk of catastrophic failures. Furthermore, in job shop environments, machinists can utilize one holder with multiple tip geometries when switching between stainless steels and other materials.
Dave Muhek, field sales engineer, shared feedback from a customer: “They were able to finish the job on one insert! Just shy of 2000 parts. Insert looked like it could go much further.” Another Allied Machine customer added that “this is easily twice the performance we have seen with anything else we have tried.”
