Reliable protection for toolholders with the BAX-CN16

The BAX-CN16 shim is tailored for professional use in turning operations, serving as a dimensionally stable base for CNMG 16... indexable inserts. It is installed between the actual toolholder and the cutting insert. In this position, it absorbs cutting forces and heat, safeguarding the holder body from direct wear and tear. This is particularly crucial during intensive contour machining, roughing, or interrupted cuts, helping to prevent expensive holder damage and supporting a consistently stable machining process.

Technical data

  • Type: Shim
  • Model: BAX-CN16
  • Compatibility: Suitable for indexable inserts CNMG 16...
  • Packaging unit: 1 piece

Applications

This accessory component is primarily used in toolholders designed for the CNMG 16... insert system. The shim is deployed in lathes when a robust grip and a wear-free insert pocket are required for demanding machining tasks. It is ideally suited for series production scenarios where tool durability and process reliability are top priorities.

Special features

The precise manufacturing of the shim guarantees a full-surface, flat contact area for the cutting insert. This suppresses micro-movements within the insert seat, reducing the risk of cutting edge breakage and promoting precise repeatability during insert changes. In the event of a crash, the cost-effective spare part acts sacrificially, ensuring that the significantly more expensive toolholder remains undamaged and can be quickly restored to operation.
