Insert Style Form
& Shave Tool Systems
Empire is proud to introduce a new line of throwaway insert tooling. Our experienced tool designers can help set-up your automatic screw machine or CNC lathe jobs or we will build the tools to your blueprints.
We offer a range of options for insert-style tooling, which include, but are not limited to:
- Carbide or high-speed steel materials
- EDM, surface ground, or lapped finishes
- Back taper, side clearance, or chip breakers for better tool life
- Variety of coatings and treatments
Our holders are designed to be efficient and user friendly. It consists of a body, anvil, and clamp. Holders can be manufactured in standard or special dovetail and shank sizes. We have 5/8" and 1" dovetail form and 1" dovetail shave holder bodies in stock for quick turnaround time on your orders.
Utilizing the replaceable anvil, a datum point system can be implemented for a family of similar parts. A machine can be changed over to a different part by simply replacing the anvil and insert. Only minor adjustments, if any, are needed since the holder body and clamp remain constant for the entire family of parts.
The benefits of Empire’s new throwaway insert system include:
- Reduced down time from elimination of re-sharpening
- Faster tool change
- Reduced set-up time
- Easier to use and more cost-effective
