user to hesitate when selecting the right cutting tool when there are threading cutters with
laydown inserts and tangentially clamped inserts.
In general, laydown clamping is recommended in threading production on large diameters
(Ø200 mm and above) and/or when using ductile materials as this solution allows the chips
to flow (to be evacuated) without interference, easily and efficiently. In other cases, tangential
clamping is recommended.
In either event, the question of using the cutters with tangential or laydown clamping inserts
should be resolved specifically. The ISCAR application specialists will be glad to advise you
of the best choice.
