Horn S1000300E2TF45 Carbide Cutoff Insert TF45

Product Description

The HORN S1000300E2TF45 is a solid carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to Series S100 standards, this insert features a 0.118-inch cutting width and a neutral lead angle, making it suitable for straight plunge cuts without lateral bias. The TF45 manufacturer grade indicates a coated carbide substrate engineered for wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials. At 0.04 pounds, the insert is a single-use indexable tool designed for quick changeover on compatible toolholders.

This insert is intended for cut-off and grooving applications in both production and job-shop turning environments. It is rated for use on multiple primary workpiece material codes including K (cast iron), M (stainless steel), N (non-ferrous), P (steel), and S (superalloys and titanium). Licensed machinists and CNC operators installing this insert should verify toolholder compatibility with the S100 series designation before installation.

Compatibility

Designed for use with S100 series toolholders. Compatible workpiece material codes include K, M, N, P, and S as specified by the manufacturer. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and clamping system against S100 series insert specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and in a safe, locked-out state. Confirm the insert seats fully and evenly in the toolholder pocket before tightening the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the insert grade and workpiece material combination. Inspect the cutting edge for chips or damage before each use.
