GARANT HB70

The GARANT HB70 turning grade: simply bites through steel.

More powerful. More efficient. More precise. – The GARANT grade families for ISO turning of steel

They come into their own when it comes to processing general steel materials: the GARANT HB70 indexable insert family sets new standards for precision, performance and process reliability. With innovative geometries and state-of-the-art coatings, they glide through tough materials like water – uncompromising, efficient and durable. Whether you’re working on general structural steels or tool steels:these teeth know no mercy.

GARANT HB70

Aggressive, strong and assertive

  • Dominant and uncompromising – like a shark in open waters
  • Maximum machining performance due to aggressive material removal

Robust and durable

  • Protective layer as armour: High wear resistance and long service life
  • Reliable and stable even under difficult conditions (e.g. with heavily interrupted cuts)

Precision in perfection

  • Clear lines – like the perfect contours of a shark
  • Precise shape for maximum dimensional accuracy, precision and control

Dynamism, efficiency and speed

  • Customised chip breakers for high feed rates and speeds
  • Highest productivity without any loss of quality

Three new high-performance grades from the 2nd generation

The HB70 grade family was specially developed for efficient steel machining – with finely tuned grades for different machining and cutting conditions. Thanks to a fine-grained substrate with carefully selected substrate properties and a robust CVD coating made of TiCN and Al₂O₃, the HB70 series offers an exceptional combination of wear resistance, edge sharpness and toughness for all steel applications. Whether for continuous machining with high temperature resistance (HB7010-2), general-purpose applications with a balanced characteristics profile (HB7020-2) or heavily interrupted cutting with maximum process reliability (HB7035-2) – the family delivers precise performance where it is needed.

SM chip breaker for steel processing

Maximum process reliability, excellent chip evacuation and impressive tool life – for medium to coarse machining of all common steel materials. The cutting-force-optimised design promotes short and controlled chips. Chip jams, temperature rises and tool wear are thus minimised.

SM chip breakers

  • Universal chip breaker for medium machining
  • Large chip evacuation area
  • Reduced temperature rise on the rake face
  • Stable 6° chamfering with a length of 0.20 mm
  • 22° rake

Advantages:

  • Good chip breakage for reliable machining without chip entanglement
  • Longer service life due to reduced thermal and mechanical stress
  • Clean surface thanks to controlled chip evacuation
  • General-purpose use in many standard turning operations
