To meet the market’s current requirements in automation and improved productivity, TaeguTec introduced a series of optimised new chip breakers and grades with improved coating, improved stability, improved tool life, excellent chip control performance and a wide application range to cover the current line of chip breakers.

Four new chip breakers have been launched. These inserts are easily distinguished by a new designation system that clearly defines their application range. The new chip breakers deliver optimal machining performance and high reliability in a wider range of operations.

The FLP chip breaker (for finishing) minimises machining load at low depths of cut, has excellent chip control capability due to the wide, stable supporting area, and enables excellent workpiece dimensional accuracy.

The MLP chip breaker (for semi-finishing to medium) enables excellent chip control capability due to the side wave edge geometry in highly variable depths of cut, and with a specially designed edge that enables stable machining in a wide range of medium applications.

The MGP chip breaker (for medium), characterised by good chip control, is the first recommended machining solution for a wide range of operations. Also, the MGP is designed with cutting edge strength and has a wide support area that promotes stable and reliable machining.

The RGP chip breaker (for roughing) is suitable for roughing applications due to its reinforced cutting edge and wide chip groove, and can perform reliably without chipping even in extreme interrupted machining conditions.
