Box Tools - Model RTC

Carbide insert box tools are used in the turrets of screw machines, turret lathes, and CNC lathes for taking extra-heavy, rapid cuts in workpieces. Using triangular carbide throw-away inserts, downtime for tool bit sharpening is eliminated. You get a higher production rate at the lowest cost per cutting edge by removing stock 30% to 50% faster than with conventional cutters. The triangular carbide insert can be changed from one edge to another in less than a minute. Centerline is maintained when replacing the insert. Chips are controlled at any speed or feed rate or material by a built-in molded chip breaker. Extra-high roller blocks are available to provide support on the unfinished diameter of the workpiece. Carbide rollers and pins are available for extended wear. Standard carbide inserts have a 1/64" radius on corners; inserts with 1/32" radius are available and must be used with rollers that have a 1/64" chamfer. Old Style parts are listed on the Tooling Components page.  All parts are available except the block.
