STEELMAX
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about STEELMAX from 3G Electric.
What STEELMAX machines are compatible with the radius cutting inserts SM-PLY-000159 and SM-PLY-000161?
Both radius cutting inserts are designed for use with STEELMAX BM16 and BM7 machines. They are intended for cutting steel to create curved profiles and smooth finishes. The two part numbers are distinct SKUs, so verify the specific insert geometry required for your operation before ordering. These are consumable tooling items, not machine components, and should be matched to the BM16 or BM7 model in use.
Which STEELMAX beveling machines use the internal beveling tool bits SM-NOZ-000023 and SM-NOZ-000026?
The internal beveling tool bits SM-NOZ-000023 and SM-NOZ-000026 are configured for STEELMAX PB10 and PBE10 beveling machines. They are steel tool bits intended for internal beveling applications, specifically edge preparation on pipe and plate interiors. The two part numbers represent different tool bit configurations, so confirm the required geometry for your workpiece. These are wear items and should be replaced according to the machine manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
What is the STEELMAX facing tool bit SM-NOZ-000017 used for?
The STEELMAX facing tool bit SM-NOZ-000017 is a steel insert designed for facing operations on compatible equipment, specifically the PB10 and PBE10 beveling machines. Facing operations create smooth, flat surfaces on workpieces in metalworking and fabrication. This tool bit is a consumable item and should be selected based on the material and surface finish required. It is identified by manufacturer part number SM-NOZ-000017 for ordering accuracy.
Is the STEELMAX cutting insert SM-PLY-000004 intended for a specific machine model?
The STEELMAX cutting insert SM-PLY-000004 is designed for BM20 steel applications. It is categorized as a cutting insert for use in turning, milling, or boring operations on steel workpieces for material removal. The part number is specific to this insert, and it should be matched to the BM20 machine or compatible tooling. As a consumable, it is subject to wear and should be replaced when cutting performance degrades.
What material is the STEELMAX carbide chamfer insert SM-PLY-000756 made from, and what is it used for?
The STEELMAX carbide chamfer insert SM-PLY-000756 is made from carbide material and is designed for edge preparation on BM25 tooling. It is used in metalworking and machining to create chamfered edges on workpieces, reducing burr formation. The carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance for chamfering operations. This insert is a consumable item and should be selected based on the BM25 machine and the specific chamfer geometry required.
