NTK's Shaper Duo tools are effective alternatives to traditional approaches for socket machining, such as end milling and rotary broaching. The insert bars generate less tool pressure than broach methods, and cycle time is greatly reduced due to an efficient machining process. The system generates better socket tolerance and corner edge sharpness. The tooling is designed for positioning in the back spindle of Swiss machines.

Iscar's latest addition in the PENTA series introduces a new 5-cornered insert for machining miniature parts. The unique shape and design of the insert rekindles this legacy insert by opening new frontiers for additional applications. Standard inserts now available in a wide range of widths from 0.010" – 0.125", with different edge configurations for parting, grooving, back-turning, side-turning, profiling and threading. The insert and toolholders enable the machining of miniature parts with right and left capabilities next to the shoulder of the workpiece.
