Arno Werkzeuge USA offers its SE system of cutting tools and inserts designed to optimize turning, grooving, parting-off and copy turning operations. The monoblock holder uses double-ended inserts for high-productivity machining operations. The SE system also includes the Arno Coolant System (ACS) providing tool coolant directly to the cutting edge for maximum tool life and performance. A double-V insert seat design ensures accurate and secure location. In combination with a fixed stop, it ensures precise insert repeatability.
