1 TopGroove Issue 28 WIDIA has set the industry standard for threading and grooving productivity with the TopGroove clamping design. The proven performance of this system has been enhanced with the addition of new insert geometries and the expansion of our carbide grade offering. Let us help you select the correct insert for your application needs or upgrade your current TopGroove tooling inventory to include chip control geometries and the high productivity grades available from WIDIA. TopThread Threading operations place extraordinary demands upon carbide inserts. Extreme tangential forces converge on the very small insert nose radius. In addition, thread pitch often requires a high feed rate (compared to regular turning operations), the insert cutting edge requires clearance, and high heat is generated in the cut. The WIDIA TopThread system is the best way to address these problems. A superior choice for heavy-duty applications like machining Acme, Buttress, and API threads, the WIDIA TopThread system is the best solution for coarse pitch and multi-tooth threading applications.

2 TopGroove Information The Most Advanced Turning Solutions in the Industry Perfect for shallow grooving operations, the WIDIA TopGroove clamping system provides a complete line of grooving geometries and an extensive grade selection to meet even the most demanding application requirements. For increased rigidity, versatility, chip control, and carbide grade options, the TopGroove clamping system is the proven solution. With maximum clamping rigidity and superior versatility, TopGroove inserts employ a unique top rake chip control geometry that efficiently evacuates chips and produces better quality parts, faster than ever before. Utilize this comprehensive, easy-to-use guide for the information necessary to identify, choose, and select the appropriate cutting tools for your specific needs. What you need to know: Groove depth, width, and profile. Material being machined. Application to be performed (face, OD, or ID grooving). Toolholder requirements (e.g., KM, Erickson, square shank, right/left). 1.) Choose the application to be performed: Groove depth, width and profile. TopGroove is the best choice for groovedepth-to-width ratios of 1.5 or less. Inside Diameter (ID) Grooving 2.) Indentify the material to be machined Each tool has a material grid marked with a letter indicating the materials that can be machined. P M K N S H Steel Stainless Steel Cast Iron Non-Ferrous Materials High-Temp Alloys Hardened Materials Outside Diameter (OD) Grooving Face Grooving 4.) Select Chipbreaker style and feed rate in/rev (mm/min) 3.) Choose your toolholder based on the application: OD & Face Grooving: ID Grooving Applications: Note: Toolholders are available in conventional, square shank versions, as well as quickchange versions. The insert size must match the gage insert of your toolholder selection. Workpiece Material & Application 5.) Select grade and speed SFM (m/min): Machining Condition 1st Choice Alt.

3 TopThread Information With the largest selection of insert geometries and carbide grades available on the market today, the TopThread system is the best choice for coarse pitch and multi-tooth threading applications. Rigid insert clamping design ensures the best tool life, surface finish, and workpiece quality. Simple design does not require shim selection for thread helix angles. Excellent choice for heavy-duty applications like Acme, Buttress, and Round threads machining. Use the same toolholders and boring bars for threading and grooving inserts. Ideal for special insert shapes and toolholders. TopThread Insert Technology TopThread insert technology brings superior chip control to your threading operations. Unlike competitors designs, the WIDIA recessed chip groove, when used according to our recommendations, will break the chip in most applications, bringing you better tool life and lower cutting pressures. Reduced inconsistencies and better workpiece finish. Superior chip control reduces the danger to operators. Increased productivity in all of your threading operations. Carbide grades are available for outstanding performance. Excellent choice for special thread forms and toolholder designs 1.) Selecting threading method & hand of tooling Required Information: External/internal operation. Spindle rotation/hand of thread. Feed direction. Feed direction toward the chuck standard helix 3.) Choose insert for application: See threading insert overview on page 13. Select cresting inserts for fully controlled thread form including diameter control. Cresting inserts eliminate the need for deburring. Non-cresting partial profile inserts can cut a variety of thread pitches. Chip control is only available with partial profile inserts. Note insert size for toolholder selection. Size 2 NT-2RK 3 NT-3RK 4 NT-4RK Feed direction away from the chuck reverse helix 2.)
