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.

BCK10T and BCK20T
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.
