Tungaloy expands its -HP geometry line of T-CBN inserts that ensures effective chip control in finish turning of hardened steel parts.

The -HP geometry provides reliable chip control in finish cutting conditions at cutting depths of 0.2 mm (0.0079") or smaller, minimizing part quality damages caused by poor chip control.

Twenty-two additional –HP geometry T-CBN inserts are now available which further increases the chipbreaker application range in hard turning.

At a Glance

Innovative chip former ensures good chip breakage and smooth chip control

Free cutting geometry eliminates bar deflection and vibration during machining

Built-in wiper ensures better surface quality and chip control

Available in BXM10 for continuous cut and BXA20 for interrupted cut

Total of 22 inserts to be added

Glossary terms in this article

  • hard turning
    Single-point cutting of a workpiece that has a hardness value higher than 45 HRC.
  • chipbreaker
    Groove or other tool geometry that breaks chips into small fragments as they come off the workpiece. Designed to prevent chips from becoming so long that they are difficult to cont…
