Precision and versatility for small parts
WhizCut Original parting off inserts allow precise parting off, near the guide bush or sub spindle, which is essential for small parts. The Original parting off tools excel in this area, offering front angles from 0° to 30° and up to 20° positive rake angle, making them suitable for most machining operations.
Benefits of WhizCut Original parting off tools
- Parting off the smallest diameters: The cutting edge aligns with the holder’s side.
- Precision ground: All inserts have precision-ground cutting edges.
- Cutting edge stability: WhizCut Original’s angled insert pocket directs cutting forces through the insert, not the tool holder.
- Tool holder efficiency: Use the same holder for grooving, threading, backturning, and parting off to minimize stock.
- Versatile tool holders: A wide range of tool holders is available for all applications.

Choose the ideal inserts for your turning application
1
Axial relief vs. component possibilities
- Style P: 0° provides the strongest tool, ideal for sub spindle use. Style PS offers extra stability.
- Style Y: 6° gives a strong tool but may leave a small chamfer without a sub spindle.
- Style Z: 15° is a versatile parting-off insert, recommended for parting-off without a sub spindle or when parting-off parts with a hole.
- Style S & U: 20-30° is a less strong tool ideal for small parts needing a fine surface finish.
2
Rake angle vs. material
- 0° for short-chipping materials
- 12° for long-chipping materials
- 20° for sticky and long-chipping materials
