Inserts

MU5 Double-Sided Indexable Insert

Walter has introduced the MU5 double-sided indexable insert for turning operations. The insert can be used universally both for steel forged parts and also for stainless materials.

Pressed-Geometry Carbide Inserts

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling is adding more than 30 pressed-geometry carbide inserts for its tools. The new insert design is the result of extensive research and testing.

Trio of turning advancements

Cutting Tool Engineering explores a trio of turning advancements in the cover story of its February 2020 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine. Included are FreeTurn (Ceratizit), PrimeTurning (Sandvik Coromant) and rollFeed (Emag and Vandurit).

Tungaloy Enhances T9200 Steel Turning Inserts with New Grades and Geometries

Tungaloy has expanded its T9200 CVD grade insert series to include T9205 and T9235 grades as well as the -TSF and -TM style chipbreakers. Both T9205 and T9235 provide outstanding wear resistance in the P05 and P35 application ranges surpassing existing CVD grades. These capabilities are possible due to Tungaloy’s innovative coating technologies, including:

TZ120 Grade Ceramic Inserts

Tungaloy is introducing TZ120 grade ceramic inserts designed for turning cast iron at high cutting speeds.

BXA20 Line of Coated T-CBN Inserts

Tungaloy is adding 177 new shapes and geometries to its BXA20 line of coated T-CBN inserts designed for turning hardened steel parts.

DTE3-020, DTE4-080 and DTE5-080 TungCut Grooving Inserts

Tungaloy is expanding its TungCut series of grooving tools to include new insert and holder options. TungCut’s DTE grooving insert offers a versatile design that allows the insert to be used for grooving and turning in both axial and radial directions.

Cutting Tools for Machining Turbocharger Components

The turbocharger has been state-of-the-art in diesel vehicles for some time. And almost all automotive manufacturers offer a turbocharged petrol engine. Why? The turbocharger makes comparable performance with a smaller engine capacity possible and that contributes to the advance in downsizing. Turbochargers also help to achieve lower fuel consumption and are therefore fundamental in meeting strict emission limits. MAPAL offers the complete process for machining these parts, including tools.

GX24-WDN10 Inserts for Grooving and Parting Off

Walter has added PCD grooving inserts to its Walter Cut GX grooving system, the innovative tool technology for grooving and parting off. These new geometries, straight edge (F1) and full radius (M1) excel at grooving in aluminum and titanium alloys, bringing high cutting speed, longer tool life and fine surface quality to grooving, parting and recessing operations.

Kennametal Debuts 2 New PCBN Insert Grades

Kennametal debuts two new PCBN insert grades with double-sided inserts for materials up to 65 HRC. The KBH10B and KBH20B PCBN grades are said to deliver high productivity and long tool life when turning tool steels and other hardened materials.
