November 01, 2005
Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has recently developed and manufactured
a new range of inserts for its APX3000 multi-functional indexable cutters. These new
inserts will start to be sold by Mitsubishi Materials Tools Corporation (President: Osamu
Takata, Headquarters: 1-6-1 Yokoami, Sumida-ku, Tokyo).

The innovative APX3000 multi-functional cutter, launched in October 2004, comfortably
achieves three important factors necessary for a successful indexable insert milling
tool - low cutting resistance, high fracture resistance and long tool life. The range
of inserts for the APX3000 has now been expanded to widen the application area available
for this cutter.

as follows.
