SIMTEK Precision Cutting Tools and Tooling
Authentic SIMTEK solid carbide tooling, simturn micro-boring systems, simmill milling cutters, and simcut broaching tools manufactured by SIMTEK Präzisionswerkzeuge GmbH for precision machining worldwide.
simturn turning and micro-boring tooling systems
The simturn tooling systems deliver micro-boring from Ø 0.3 mm in the AX series and boring from Ø 7.0 mm in DX. Double-edged H2 inserts achieve groove depths up to 18.0 mm in steel and alloys. They ensure precision turning for small parts. Replaceable inserts, shanks, and screws are supplied.
- Series simturn AX / DX / H2
- Micro-boring from Ø 0.3 mm
- Grooving depths up to 18.0 mm
- Indexable inserts and shanks
simmill milling systems for slots and contours
The simmill milling systems feature three-flute AX solid carbide cutters for circular milling from Ø 1.4 mm. Modular simmill 9W cutters offer up to 12 teeth for slot depths up to 16.5 mm. They process slots and contours in alloy steels. Milling cutter bodies, inserts, and arbors are available.
- Series simmill AX / 9W / QX
- Circular milling from Ø 1.4 mm
- Slot depths up to 16.5 mm
- Milling inserts and arbors
simcut broaching and slotting tooling systems
The simcut BA tooling system performs CNC broaching of longitudinal keyways to DIN 6885 in bores from Ø 6.0 mm. Indexable two-cutting-edge inserts broach keyways and internal hexagons. The system cuts cycle times on CNC lathes. Toolholders, carbide inserts, and clamping parts are supplied.
- Series simcut BA
- Bores from Ø 6.0 mm
- Keyways to DIN 6885
- Toolholders and inserts
GRADIUM carbide grades and protective coatings
GRADIUM carbide grades and coatings deliver maximum tool life during turning and milling operations. The submicron carbide substrate absorbs shock loads during interrupted cutting. The coatings protect edges when cutting titanium and alloys. Inserts, screws, and cartridges are supplied.

- Submicron carbide substrate
- Interrupted cutting durability
- Indexable inserts and cartridges
Selection criteria for SIMTEK tooling on CNC machining centers
Selecting SIMTEK precision tooling for CNC turning and milling centers requires evaluating machine spindle interfaces, coolant delivery pressure, and workpiece tolerance requirements. The modular architectures of simturn and simmill allow setting tool overhang lengths with high repeatability.
Utilizing original toolholders and vibration-damped boring bars minimizes chatter during deep hole boring and micro-machining, guaranteeing tight tolerances down to IT6/IT7 and fine surface finishes with Ra down to 0.4 microns on production components.
Operational guidelines and indexable insert replacement
To maintain high dimensional accuracy and surface integrity, indexable cutting inserts should be indexed or replaced before reaching critical flank wear. Prior to seating a new insert, the pocket must be thoroughly cleaned of micro-chips and dried of residual coolant.
Clamping screws must be tightened using calibrated torque drivers to the manufacturer specified torque values, preventing insert tilting, uneven seating stresses, and premature carbide chipping during heavy machining cuts.
