Saws with interchangeable teeth
Austrian carbide and tool specialist Boehlerit is exploring new paths when it comes to sawing and will be launching the "SawTec 2.0" tool system with replaceable teeth, an intelligent, next-generation machining solution. Saw blades are used by the metal-processing industry all over the world for separating rods, blocks, pipes, rails and profiles. In most cases, saw teeth are welded on, which is labour-intensive and costly especially for large saw diameters, given the need for re-sharpening and the logistics involved.
Kapfenberg-based development pioneer Boehlerit has reacted to this situation by creating the innovative "SawTec 2.0" tool system, which offers a solution for large-diameter saw blades, using screw-mounted, interchangeable saw teeth. A tangible benefit of this product is that the screw-mounted carbide saw teeth of the SawTec 2.0 are easy and quick to exchange. The "SawLock®" clamping system ensures stability, efficiency, precision and a high degree of flexibility. A range of tooth geometries are available to enable users to choose the right blade for steel, stainless steel and highly heat-resistant steel, depending on the material to be sawn.
The initial programme will consist of interchangeable teeth with a width of 9 mm, in three cutting geometries (SP, SM, SS) and two cutting grades (BCP40X and BCM40X), suitable for all standard steel, stainless steel and highly heat-resistant alloys. The interchangeable teeth come with a state-of-the-art coating that increases the cutting surfaces by up to 200 % in m2, while increasing the cutting speed at the same time. Saw blades are available in a diameter range of 600 to 1500 mm, with the drilling hole for holding the spindle being executed according to customer requirements.
Users who need to keep an eye on costs for their sawing operations and are looking for a cost-effective solution will make the right choice with the "Sawtec 2.0" tool system with interchangeable teeth by Boehlerit!

Cutting edge from the start
The carbide cultivator sweep for stubble working and weed control was launched in spring 2019 and is now available in an optimised, reinforced version. The new, slightly lowered position of the tip enables better penetration of the shares into the soil and the specially designed, narrow carbide segments retain their cutting power throughout the lifespan of the product. In addition, they provide outstanding operational quality and a high level of wear protection, retaining the operating width right until the end of the tool life. Carbide side elements are placed in such a way as to form a constant cutting line and absorb impacts during the working of the soil. The innovative beaver tooth effect has also been optimised, making the self-sharpening properties of the carbide cutting edge even more efficient. A complete novelty is the welded-on reinforcement in the intake area, which helps to prevent share breakage. The second generation of the carbide cultivator sweep is available in widths of 200 mm, 260 mm or 300 mm.

Tool life (r)evolution with consistently high quality
Back in 2017, Boehlerit set a new quality standard for soil cultivation with its carbide cultivator share. The next generation of this innovative product provides a range of benefits that increase all aspects of efficiency and productivity. For instance, the second generation comes with a slotted hole in addition to the two drill holes in the intake area, which means that it may be mounted on all commonly used machines. The newly developed twist protection, a raised element in the intake area, may be used with the original guide plates of all standard cultivators. The patented, specially designed carbide system not only increases the service life by at least 5 times, but also reduces the loss of width, ensuring optimal working quality throughout the lifespan of the product. This makes it easy to predict the end of the tool life and rules out share breakage. The second generation of the carbide cultivator share is available in widths of 50 mm or 80 mm.

Weeds stand no chance against the brand-new Boehlerit carbide cultivator blades
When it comes to mechanical weed control, the Boehlerit engineers from Kapfenberg have once again harnessed the power of self-sharpening, serrated carbide blades to come up with a completely innovative cultivator blade, which will be presented at the Agritechnica in Hanover for the first time. The new tool has a lower tip that makes digging easier, retains its cutting width until the end of its lifespan and also offers the possibility of welding different intake elements onto the base unit. The serrated carbide segments in combination with the beaver tooth effect minimise the risk of weeds not being cut or slipping past the cultivator blade – a major benefit of this product. The carbide cultivator blade is available in widths of 100 - 200 mm and in 20 mm gradations.

Quattrotec
Intelligent turning applications with new EasySafe system
Pentatec, the universal turning-drilling tool, already replaces up to five ISO tools and reduces machining times by up to 30% as tool changing times and unnecessary tool movements are eliminated. The innovative, revolutionary Quattrotec tool system is the next step in this intelligent machining concept, and the new EasySafe fitting system with a notch constitutes yet another major advantage of this product.
With the introduction of the new Quattrotec tool system, Austrian carbide and tool specialist Boehlerit makes it possible for users to drive down costs further, in an even broader material range. Thanks to the special design of the base body, four machining operations – drilling into solid material (including off-centre drilling), inside turning, face cutting and longitudinal turning – may be performed with low vibrations and just a single tool. The EasySafe system is the uncontested highlight of the Quattrotec: A notch on the underside of the indexable insert ensures that it can be fitted into the seat speedily and 100% correctly. Easy to install, safe to use!
In a tried-and-tested, highly diverse range of grades, Boehlerit combines substrates of different levels of hardness, with either a wear-resistant CVD coating or a universal, process-safe PVD coating. The Kapfenberg-based tool specialist uses different carbide substrates that are coordinated in such a way as to achieve optimised machining properties. The market launch at the EMO in Hanover already saw no less than six directly pressed grades, and two more ground varieties for non-ferrous metals will be added in the next development phase. This means that the optimal cutting material will be available for almost every application.
The innovative Quattrotec tool programme reduces machining and tool changing times, saves tool places and makes it possible to drill flat-bottomed blind holes. At the same time, this highly stable tool system that was developed from scratch also offers improved process safety and increases efficiency and flexibility during application.

BETAtec 90P Feed and DELTAtec 90P Feed
Fine-tuning down to the smallest detail
The BETAtec 90P Feed tools are the ultimate edge milling tools in the Boehlerit milling programme. The BETAtec 90P Feed is a truly multi-functional tooling system, thanks to the fact that the tool holders may also be used with indexable cutting inserts for high-performance cutting. This means a higher level of efficiency and flexibility for users, while reducing not only the costs of the tool holder, but also the associated warehousing costs. The innovative tool system DELTAtec 90P Feed allows for highest feed rates and may be used for both HFC and edge milling. The multi-functional tooling systems are available as face milling, end milling and screw-on cutters and, in combination with the right cutting material grade, may be used across the entire material group.
Small diameter range – highly dynamic and efficient
Completely new, logical extensions of the existing BETAtec 90P Feed and DELTAtec 90P Feed portfolio are indexable inserts with small diameter ranges. The BETAtec 90P Feed tool system with an indexable insert size of 06 (LPMX06) is available as a face milling, end milling and screw-on version for a range of 10-50mm. The DELTAtec 90P milling tools are also available with an indexable insert size of 06 (SDMT06) as end milling and screw-on versions for a range of 16-35mm.
The new tools are ideal for die and mould making with materials of up to 62 HRC and extremely dynamic in terms of performance as well as efficiency. For applications with hardened materials, Boehlerit once again relies on a homogeneous HIPIMS layer structure for optimised results in die and mould making. Yet another benefit of this product lies in the low strain placed on the individual indexable inserts thanks to the narrow pitch that makes high machining volumes possible. The need for reworking is also greatly reduced due to the minimal need for residual material. While the BETAtec 90P Feed is designed for HFC and 90° milling, the focus of the DELTAtec 90P Feed lies on material removal, with a focus on dynamic and efficient performance.

Performance where it really matters
With its latest indexable insert geometry MRM, Boehlerit has added yet another innovation to its ISO turning programme for the medium to rough machining of stainless materials, setting new standards in the process and making optimised indexable inserts available for a wide range of applications using stainless steels.
The new MRM chip breaker complements the BMRS geometry, which is well established on the market and covers a similar feed rate range but differs in terms of micro geometry due to the deeper chipping angle. In this way, the cutting forces are reduced, resulting in increased process safety and a prolonged lifespan on stainless steels with high hardness levels.
With the new MRM geometry for medium roughing on stainless steels, the carbide and tool specialists from Kapfenberg have launched the perfect addition to its already comprehensive ISO turning programme. Users who want to keep an eye on costs for their roughing operations and are looking for a cost-effective solution will make the right choice with the Boehlerit MRM geometry.

The revolution in cast iron turning
Austrian carbide and tool specialist Boehlerit has optimised the successful TERAspeed 2.0 coating for use in cast iron milling and now cast iron turning applications are also set to benefit. A thorough analysis of the market situation and coating tests that were completed internally paved the way for a new generation of coatings. The new cast CVD coating makes the most of the advantages of its individual components. Alpha-aluminium oxide is separated by means of targeted process management. It works as a heat shield and protects the indexable insert from high temperatures. Underneath, a medium-temperature titanium-carbon nitride layer provides the required wear resistance. A thickness of 20µm and the optimised roundings of the edges ensure a high level of edge stability and ideal cutting conditions. The current geometries of the casting programme are made with the latest generation of reference clamping systems. Compared to older systems, the increased rigidity and repetition accuracy makes for a reduction of the pressing gap, which in turn increases press quality (burr-free pressing). This has a positive influence on work flows further down the line and significantly improves productivity.
The new Boehlerit casting grades BCK10T and BCK20T offer top quality, excellent machining properties and optimal distribution of cutting forces.
