Small Part Cut-Off Challenges

Cut-off operations often face high machining loads and tool rigidity issues, leading to problems like chatter, insert and holder damage, and inefficient machining. If not addressed, cut-off operations can quickly become a bottleneck within the small part manufacturing process. The KGZ series addresses these challenges with a unique body and clamp design that ensures stable machining and minimizes chatter. This results in far better surface finishes and more consistent tool life, making the system ideal for high-precision applications where quality and reliability are most important.


Dependable Results with Easy Insert Management

In addition to improving finish and stability, the KGZ series enhances overall machining efficiency and dependability. The system features fast and secure insert installation, making it easier for operators to manage tooling without extensive downtime. This easy insert management, combined with the system's durable toolholders, ensures that manufacturers can rely on the KGZ series for consistent performance and lower operational costs in small parts machining applications.
