T-Max® P inserts for HRSA and titanium

Easy choice for optimized

production

Logical geometry chain

With a new series of optimized ISO S turning geometries and
easy-to-choose guidelines, the best solution is soon in your
hands.
Easy to choose insert geometries
The new ISO S insert geometries are designed to handle depths of
cut from 0.2 to 10 mm (0.008 to 0.393 inch) with excellent chip
control and low tool pressure.

Stronger geometries for larger depths of cut

For heavier roughing, insert size is more important to handle higher loads, interruptions and uneven, hard
skin. Geometries are strengthened as the insert size grows. Security and productivity are guaranteed.
