T-Max®

For productive turning of difficult-to-machine materials.

Overview

How to use

Assortment

Insert seat

Clean and inspect insert seat for damaged locations and support for the cutting edge.

Shims and shim seats

Ensure that shim corners have not been knocked off during machining or handling and that shim seats have no edge buildup.
See the available spare parts

Contact faces

Check supporting and contact faces, making sure there is no damage or dirt.

Clamping

In boring operations, it is important to have the best possible clamping. If not supported, the overhang will be increased, which might cause vibration.
