YG-1 Expands YG SM3 MILL Portfolio to Include TPCT-AL Insert for Aluminum Machining

New Technology Developed with 3 Cutting Edges Providing Exceptional Performance

YG-1 expands its YG SM3 MILL portfolio by introducing TPCT-AL inserts, a 3-corner 90° shoulder milling solution for aluminum machining. The well-received TPKT inserts are now expanded with TPCT-AL inserts in the SM3 line.

The introduction of the TPCT-AL inserts, a variant of the TPKT inserts, is a response to the positive market feedback. YG-1 broadens into the TPCT-AL inserts in the SM3 line, addressing the specific needs of aluminum machining.

The TPCT-AL inserts are periphery ground and designed with a high-helix cutting edge to reduce cutting force and provide smooth cutting, the high positive rake angle geometry provides optimized chip evacuation and minimized burrs, and the newly designed curved cutting edge minimizes mismatch in step machining.

It designed for highest surfaces quality and improved tool life for machining of aluminum and non-ferrous materials are offered with the dedicated grade YG50. TPCT-AL inserts are compatible with all TPKT’s cutters.
