Inserts

Vapor

The VAPOR platform has unique elements in body design and TRI-X2 insert geometry for higher metal removal rates and extended tool life. VAPOR is ideal for extreme machining with modern machine tool technology.

ISO N Grade WXN15

These WXN15 grade coated inserts are all introduced with a highly positive shaped geometry, which is particularly effective in machining ISO N materials. When used in advanced cutter bodies like the new Xtra·tec® XT M5468 button insert milling cutter, with G88 geometry, this also increases productivity when performing machining operations on deep shoulders with excellent chip removal.

Guhring System 222 Part-off Tooling

Post-processing operations can be eliminated with System 222. Guhring’s cutting geometries for steel, stainless steel and cast iron are sintered right into the inserts. The standard offering includes 2mm and 3mm wide inserts in left, right and neutral versions; a single-sided insert version allows for even deeper reach. Blade-style and square shank holders are available with and without internal coolant.

Negative Inserts

Tungaloy has expanded its economical, double-sided negative insert line with the -28 chipbreaker. Featuring a pressed-in chipbreaker geometry with a large inclination angle on the sharp cutting edge, the -28 generates free cutting action with superior chip control. In addition, a negative insert design provides the cutting edge with strength and reliability when machining parts with heavy cutting conditions at varying D.O.C.

New Grades of Tiger·tec Gold Inserts

A patent-pending, highly textured, multi-layered MT-TiCN layer increases toughness and reduces flank face wear, resulting in lower cost per cutting edge. The inserts’ highly textured Al2O3 layer also minimizes crater wear, and the gold-colored top layer improves wear detection. The gradient carbide substrate boosts wear resistance and toughness. In addition, Walter provides its signature multi-stage post-treatment. This produces an unusually smooth rake face, reducing friction and also increasing toughness.

Risk Detected and Averted: Cutting Insert Warns Before Breakage

Selecting the right insert to machine the wide variety of steel materials can be challenging. To make machining steel easier to navigate, CERATIZIT has rethought everything about its new ISO-P turning insert. From the substrate to the geometries, right through to the Dragonskin coating, CERATIZIT inserts ensure that you are prepared for every steel turning challenge.

Tiger·tec Gold PVD Grade

This grade is now capable of longer tool life, greater reliability, and approximately 30 percent greater performance in stainless steels (ISO M) and heat-resistant super alloys (ISO S), and up to 75 percent greater performance in steels (ISO P) than comparable grades. With the launch phase now complete, the PVD grade WSP45G Tiger·tec® Gold can be used universally in all standard Walter milling cutters.
