Seco releases MDT 2MM tools for micro grooving, parting and profiling

Seco Tools has introduced the MDT 2MM, a multi-use tool for grooving, parting and profiling small and microscale parts. An extension of the company’s MDT family of tools, the 2MM offers a cutting edge width of just 2mm (0.078”).

Two sizes of inserts and two sizes of toolholders are offered. MDT19 inserts, designed primarily for Swiss machining applications, feature a compact size and are shaped to provide insert-indexing accessibility even in very restricted spaces. With a longer reach, larger toolholders and broader product range, the MDT28 offers solutions for general machining applications. MDT28 allows parting-off of bars up to 2” in diameter.

Both sizes of inserts feature a much-thinner width than the 3mm and 4mm members of the MDT family, which, reports Seco, minimizes the amount of workpiece material wasted during parting-off operations.

To maximize stability and accuracy, the MDT 2MM incorporates the Secoloc insert-clamping system. A combination of V-top clamping and serrated contact surfaces between the insert and toolholder ensures the highest-possible process security.
