Inserts & Tool Bits

Ingersoll Cutting Tools offers dovetail with a positive-rake-angular advantage and 6-flute productivity performance.

Carmex Precision Tools LLC has announced the latest addition to its family of tooling for Swiss-style applications. The Swiss-Line combines a new type of polygon insert and holder for external turning, grooving, parting and threading. The precision ground inserts are constructed of solid carbide with specialty coating for longer tool life and increased productivity, according to the company.

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.

PFERD INC. has introduced TITANIUM cut burs, the latest addition to its high-performance Carbide Bur line-up. TITANIUM cut is specially designed for machining hard titanium alloys (with tensile strength greater than 500 N/mm2). With an innovative tooth geometry, TITANIUM cut generates stock removal rates up to 60% higher than conventional cross-cut burs, according to the company.

Walter says it has introduced a new and innovative cutting geometry, the MS3, teamed with a new high tech grade, WSM01. The new WSM01 grade, manufactured using the HiPIMS (high-power impulse magnetron sputtering) method, provides extremely smooth surfaces that are characterized by excellent layer thickness, outstanding layer bonding and high-level wear resistance, according to the company.

Seco Tools has expanded its family of Duratomictechnology-based TP grades to include TP3501, a grade that reportedly provides optimal application security. The new grade is ideal 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.

Sandvik Coromant says it has unveiled a new turning concept that offers improved machining flexibility and the potential for significant productivity gains. The company's PrimeTurning methodology and supporting tools provide manufacturers, particularly in aerospace and automotive sectors, with a true "all directional turning" solution.

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.

The comprehensive line of ALU/NF CUT carbide burs from PFERD reportedly brings new levels of machining performance particularly to aluminum applications. Aluminum has grown increasingly popular in industry because of its special properties, such as extreme durability, low weight, exceptional corrosion resistance and uncomplicated recycling. Processing the many different aluminum alloys, however, can be complex.
