Planet 45° Chamfer Tool – One Tool for Wide Chamfering Applications
In modern machining environments, flexibility, productivity, and tool life play a crucial role in achieving consistent quality and cost efficiency. The **Planet 45° Chamfer Tool** is designed to meet these demands by offering a single, versatile solution for a wide range of chamfering requirements.
### Wide Diameter Coverage with a Single Tool
One of the key advantages of the Planet 45° Chamfer Tool is its **exceptional diameter range**. A single tool can perform chamfering operations from **Ø5 mm up to Ø46 mm**, eliminating the need to maintain multiple chamfer tools for different sizes. This significantly reduces tooling inventory and setup time on the shop floor.
### High Productivity with Dual Insert Design
The tool is available in a **2-insert configuration**, enabling higher metal removal rates and improved productivity, especially in mass production and CNC machining applications. For lighter operations or cost-sensitive requirements, a **1-insert version** is also available, providing flexibility based on machining needs.
### Indexable Inserts with Longer Tool Life
The inserts used in this chamfer tool feature **two cutting edges**, effectively doubling insert usability and reducing tooling cost per component. With **ready-available inserts**, downtime due to insert procurement is minimized, ensuring uninterrupted production.
### One Insert for Multiple Materials – Reduced Inventory
A major advantage for customers is that the **same insert can be used across different workpiece materials**. This versatility helps reduce the need to stock multiple insert grades, **lowering insert inventory, simplifying tool management, and reducing overall tooling costs**.
### Strong Mounting and Easy Insert Replacement
The tool is designed with a **bigger, robust clamping screw**, ensuring strong and stable insert mounting even during demanding cutting conditions. This also allows **easy and quick insert interchange**, improving operator convenience and reducing machine idle time.
