As a result, there is no setting effort and no need to send tools for time-consuming or expensive reconditioning. Users need only have the suitable HPR400 inserts from Mapal in stock. Tool quantities are minimised as tool bodies don’t need to be reconditioned.
The HPR400 is available from 50 to 315mm diameter with either a HSK configuration or Mapal's own module adaptor. Mapal offers indexable carbide inserts with or without CVD coating or alternately there is a Cermet and tipped line that is offered with PCD or PcBN.
