Seco Tools new TP3501 grade is designed to provide optimal application security. The grade is for steel turning applications that involve numerous interrupted cuts, less stable machines, short time in cut or weak setups due to part size or shape.designed

Arno Werkzeuge USA has expanded its range of high-positive, high-shear indexable inserts, which are ideally suited to cutting nonferrous and high-temperature alloys in turning applications. Engineered and manufactured in Germany by Arno Werkzeuge, this indexable insert range is one of the company's most popular product offerings, as it reportedly represents one of the widest ranges of indexable inserts available on the market today.

The Hoffman Group offers a turning grade for machining steel. The GARANT HB 7010-1 turning grade was developed to achieve wear resistance at the highest cutting speeds, according to the company.

KORLOY has launched new chipbreakers “ MM ” (Medium Machining) and “ RM ” (Rough Machining) for stainless steel materials. Stainless steel can be classified into three groups: austenite, martensite and ferrite. In principle, the surface of stainless steel materials generally tends to be very smooth and coupled with a very strong corrosion resistance.

Tungaloy Corp. added threading inserts with sharp cutting edges to its TetraMini-Cut insert series, which allows undercutting and finishing of a flange wall. Complemented by the new PVD grade, SH725, TetraMini-Cut’s new threading insert features sharp cutting edges, making it suitable for cutting fine pitch threads at a high cutting speed.

Tungaloy Corp. has expanded the TungTurn-Jet line, the turning tool system with high-pressure coolant capability. Until now, coolant was simply applied by flooding the cutting area, which can cause chips generated during machining to interfere with the coolant flow, preventing it from reaching the exact spot where needed. Tungaloy's TungTurn-Jet’s high-pressure, double-jet coolant system delivers jets of coolant to the optimal position close to the cutting edge and increases productivity by forming short chips in machining difficult-to-cut materials like heat-resistant superalloys.

Dormer Pramet launches new Pramet chipbreakers and grades. The NF1 and NF2 positive chipbreakers support turning applications in stainless steel while the FF2, FM2 and RM3 chipbreakers support steel and cast iron.
