In the networked world of the future, mini-
and even micro-trenching is playing a large
part. Formerly extensive, open-cut trenches
are being replaced with narrow (from two
inches down to as little as 0.5 inches wide)
cuts for laying fiber-optic cable and conduit.
As with all trenching or horizontal direc-
tional drilling jobs, reliable tools are para-
mount. Kennametal’s new CM-Mini Series
offers a range of small-diameter block and
bit in NB, plug, and cap-style tips to match
a wide range of trenching requirements. For
example, the CM61 features a small-diameter
tip designed for increased penetration, while
its rear-mount style makes it accessible to
worn bore blocks. The CM65 by comparison
features a wide
collar for maxi-
mum block pro-
tection along with
a cap carbide tip
profile for excel-
lent performance
in medium to hard
abrasive cutting
conditions. There
are also four new
tools in Kennametal’s new CM-Mini series:
CM69, CM70, CM71, and CM72 with proven
NB tip carbide.
A range of carbide tip styles are available
for the CM Mini Series. Plug-style tips feature
a physical lock between steel and carbide for
maximum toughness. Cap-style tips are the
premier choice for abrasive applications with
the carbide on the business end, not sunk
into the shank. The NB tip withstands abra-
sive cutting like a cap with the physical sup-
port of a plug. Unlike a cap point that blunts
at the end of wear life, the NB tip sharpens as
it wears, making it an excellent choice in rock
cutting as well as asphalts/abrasives.
Micro-trenching is gaining attention
because of increased efficiencies (narrower,
shallower cuts accomplished in less time
with less disturbance in busy environments).
New CM Mini Series tools from Kennametal
will make this global trend even more effec-
tive.
