CoroTurn® RC rigid clamping systems for
ceramic and cubic boron nitride (CBN) inserts


Top and hole clamping
Good, stable clamping is essential if the maximum metal cutting potential of ceramic and CBN inserts is to be utilized to the full. Sandvik Coromant's CoroTurn RC holder have been designed for the specific needs of such materials.

CoroTurn RC is therefore the first choice system for clamping ceramic and CBN inserts.



Available tools:
Shank holders*) It is possible to transform a CoroTurn RC standard tool for cemented carbide inserts into a tool for ceramic inserts b changing the clamp set and shim.
External Coromant Capto cutting units
Bars *)
Cartridges *)

Inserts with Q-style holes
The combinaton of inserts with Q-style holes and the CoroTurn RC holders gives, overall, an improved tool performance compared to flat inserts in standard holders.

Q-style hole in the insert eliminates the risk of insert movement – particularly important in demanding roughing operations where high cutting forces are involved. Inserts with Q-style holes can be clamped, not only in the CoroTurn RC holders for ceramics, but also in standard RC holders and in most kinds of notch/dimple type of holders occurring on the market.
