The concept behind the CHASE-2-MOLD product line was ideally created for machining applications in the Mold and Die, Power Generation, Aerospace and General Engineering industries.

TaeguTec’s CHASE-2-MOLD’s innovative double-sided positive geometry round inserts for profiling applications offer maximum economy compared to the prevalent single-sided inserts widely used in the aforementioned industries.

Moreover, enormous cost savings can be achieved due to the durable and powerful insert, and cutter design. By combining these attributes with CHASE-2-MOLD’s positive geometries, machining centers will experience a significant enhancement in productivity even in difficult machining applications.

The double-sided CHASE-2-MOLD round inserts are available in two geometries – a regular continuous cutting edge “-ML” and a serrated cutting edge “-M”.

The serrated “-M” geometry insert, in combination with the cutter design’s unique insert orientation in each pocket, handles chip splitting effectively thereby reducing cutting forces and power requirement – important features that make it an ideal geometry for reducing vibrations in machining applications with long overhang.

The CHASE-2-MOLD E inserts and cutter pockets have inventive anti-rotational facets that ensure strong, secure insert clamping and easy indexing. Machining costs can be effectively reduced by using the continuous “-ML” geometry, which offers 16 indexes – double that of conventional single-sided round inserts. The advantages of the “-M” geometry’s serrated cutting edge includes 8 indexes with an eye-opening capability of working at higher depths of cut.

All CHASE-2-MOLD cutters have internal coolant holes to provide coolant directly to the cutting edge for excellent chip evacuation and extended tool life.
