Inserts

Mitsubishi Materials announces the expansion of BC8110 coated PCBN grade for high-hardened steel turning.

Mil-Tec's Magna-Shear geometry is ground on all insert surfaces and has a premolded chip-clearing formation.

Lovejoy Tool Co. Inc. offers PCD chip control geometry inserts.

Lovejoy Tool Co. Inc. announces the new MaxCut 651 cutters utilizing new chip gullet design combined with thick inserts (0.250") for continuous heavy-duty work, resulting in high metal-removal rates.

Owing to new processing technologies, 15 years ago, Lach Diamond pioneered to place ;a chipbreaker guide step three-dimensionally as a chipbreaker into the diamond layer of a PCD insert. From this the company developed several variations for their chipbreaker program for the machining of nonferrous metals, especially for aluminum. This became a key element in series and mass manufacturing. The Titan is the patented >>chipbreaker Type IS<< (US Patent 6.315.502).

Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corp., Cutting Tool Div. announced its new CA4505 and CA4515 CVD-coated carbide grades of indexable cutting tool inserts for machining gray and nodular (ductile) cast iron.

Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corp., Cutting Tool Division introduced its new PV7025 PVD-coated cermet grade of indexable cutting tool inserts for general machining of steel.

Knight Carbide recently issued this animated case study involving the production of a custom part radius for a hollow mill operation.

Knight Carbide Inc. offers precision-ground carbide inserts, indexable inserts, form tools and carbide cutting tools. According to the company, the tools provide accuracy and repeatability for blueprint applications, and the carbide grades, geometries, edge preparations and coatings are fine-tuned to enhance performance.

The new Beyond line of high-performance turning products from Kennametal Inc. now includes two new geometries in round inserts for improved productivity in turning steel, stainless steels, cast irons and high-temperature alloys: RU (Roughing Universal) and UP (Universal Positive).
