PowrNotch™ Threading & Grooving System

The PowrNotch line offers you these important advantages:

Rigidity
Our clamping design features a rugged bridge clamp which locates in a notch molded into the insert. The insert is securely positioned to provide superior resistance to side and radial cutting forces.

Versatility
Inserts are available for shallow grooving, deep grooving, light turning, profiling, shallow and deep face grooving, and many different threading operations.

Chip Control (Grooving & Threading)
The patented grooving chip control design works in multidirectional turning as well as radial feed applications. The design also provides excellent chip evacuation in deep grooving applications. PowrNotch insert technology brings chip control to your threading operation. Unlike competitive designs, this patented recessed chip groove, when used according to RTW recommendations, will break the chip in most applications. This positive rake design lowers cutting pressures which in turn lowers heat generation that also leads to better tool life. Long stringy chips no longer mar the workpiece furface finish. The danger to operators when removing long chips from the workpiece and chuck is eliminated. All of these benefirts combine to improve the productivity of your threading operations.

Carbide Grades
RTW carbide grades offer you outstanding performance. Combined with the strength and rigidity of the PowrNotch insert design, RTW grades are able to withstand the unusually harsh demands placed on the dutting edge. Included are uncoated grades, PVD coated grades, and CVD coated grades to match your application needs.
