Seco has introduced two new chip splitter milling inserts that lower the stress on both the machine and cutting tool for improved milling process stability. The Turbo 12 and 18 chip splitter inserts for the company’s Turbo cutters – available in five grades for both square shoulder and helical milling cutters – significantly reduce chatter, vibration and stress on manufacturing equipment.

Gears that aren’t properly chamfered and deburred can lead to overloaded edges and unanticipated and undesirable noise. This is particularly true in EV applications where torque transmission, unlike combustion engine vehicles, goes from zero to a much higher maximum almost instantly. As a result, EV gears require hard finishing (honing and threaded wheel grinding), and chamfering/deburring becomes critical.
