Cutting Edge Reference System
■ General Features Conventional indexable cutters are designed to position and clamp two or three faces of the insert with locators, etc. The cutting edge reference cutter, on the other hand, retains the insert only with a clamp. (See Fig. 1) This system is adopted for our entire high-feed cutter series.

■ Features of the Cutting Edge Reference Cutter
● Axial runout of the inserts is kept within 5 to 10μm to ensure stable surface roughness and longer tool life. ● Simple design with fewer parts compared to the locator type facilitates cleaning the typical cast iron machining dirt and is comparatively inexpensive. ● Fewer parts allow high-density cutter design, higher machining efficiency and longer tool life.
