Carmex Precision Tools LLC has introduced a versatile six-edge turning insert. Designed to fit one holder, the multiple-function inserts deliver high productivity and cost efficiency in applications including threading, grooving, parting, and back and front turning. The fully ground profile delivers high precision, and the unique shape provides strong and stable clamping.

Designed to fit a range of diameters extending from small, thin-wall applications up to 2.5 inches, the system creates a smooth surface finish even in hard materials. Internal coolant capability controls temperature and relieves chip
contamination at the cutting edge.

Jim White, national sales manager for Carmex USA, states, "The new G-6 tool emphasizes our commitment to cost effectiveness and high production in the machining of small- to medium-sized parts. Constructed of rugged K20 carbide
with Carmex's proprietary BLU coating, the G6 insert will deliver precision performance and accelerated production over a long tool life."
