Wasting excessive material on parting with small‑sized lathes? This newly‑launched dedicated 1.5 mm tool delivers precise parting and material‑saving performance in one go.
Tired of Excessive Material Waste, Poor Chip Evacuation, and Insert Breakage in Narrow-Groove Parting-Off?
Achteck is proud to introduce the all-new compaction pressed-grade ACD 1.5 Series — parting and grooving inserts with an ultra-narrow 1.5 mm cutting width. Purpose-built for parting-off and grooving operations where efficiency and precision matter most, the series combines an ultra-narrow edge, a high-rigidity body, and outstanding chip control to set a new benchmark for narrow-groove machining. It is the smart choice for manufacturers looking to cut costs and boost productivity.
Key Advantages
Ultra-Narrow 1.5 mm Cutting Width — Save Material, Cut Precisely
The 1.5 mm edge minimizes narrow width in every parting operation, dramatically reducing material loss. This is a decisive advantage in precious-metal machining, where higher material utilization translates directly into lower raw-material costs. For precision miniature parts and precious-metal work-pieces, which reducing costs at the processing period.
Reinforced geometry Design — Combine Rigidity With toughness
An optimized V-seat holder design and premium-grade steel give the insert exceptional strength despite its slim profile, eliminating the risk of edge chipping or breakage at the critical moment of cut-off.
Superior rigidity ensures highly stable machining, even in demanding conditions such as deep grooving and continuous parting on automatic lathes.
Narrow cutting edge does not mean fragile. From substrate structure and seating geometry to material selection, Achteck has systematically engineered the ACD 1.5 around one goal — stable narrow-groove parting — so that a 1.5 mm edge can withstand continuous high-volume production.
Smooth Chip Evacuation —Multiply Efficiency
The precision-ground chip breaker and rake-angle geometry keep chip formation under full control: chips curl and break cleanly, never clogging the groove — less tool damage, less unplanned stops.
Smooth evacuation delivers more consistent cutting forces and lower cutting temperatures, allowing higher feed rates, shorter cycle times, and a measurable gain in throughput.
Stable chips mean stable cutting forces — and stable cutting forces are the foundation of tool life and surface finish. The advantage is especially pronounced in gummy materials such as stainless steels, where chip entanglement is a constant threat.

Application Range
The series is available in AP301U (general-purpose grade) and AP330M (for stainless steels and interrupted cuts), covering a wide range of conditions with excellent stability in both continuous and interrupted cutting of steels, stainless steels, and gummy materials.
Workpieces:precision shaft-type components; precious-metal parts where material loss is tightly controlled
Industries: automotive components; precision miniature parts
Materials:non-alloyed steels, low temperature alloy steels, high temperature alloy steels, austenitic stainless steels, and more From small lathes to automatic lathes, from single parts to continuous high-volume parting of precision components, the ACD 1.5 Series delivers a more material-efficient, more stable, and more productive grooving and parting solution.
Machining case
If any of these problems sound familiar —
Excessive material loss in narrow-groove parting, with costly precious-metal scrap
Chip clogging and entanglement causing tool damage and machine stoppages
Chipped cutting edges and broken inserts forcing frequent tool changes
Dimensional inconsistency and heavy burrs in batch production
High rigidity demands for continuous parting on automatic lathes
Low efficiency and short tool life when parting stainless steels and gummy materials
— the ACD 1.5 Series was designed around exactly these pain points: a narrower edge to save material, V-seat clamping for rock-solid stability, a precision chipbreaker for uninterrupted chip flow, and AP301U/AP330M grades covering steels and stainless steels alike — with proven tool life doubled in field testing.
It's not just a narrower parting tool. It's a complete narrow-groove parting solution built around three words: material savings, stability, and efficiency.
