Applications
Thanks to its specific design, this trigon insert is predestined for contouring and longitudinal turning of soft, long-chipping materials. Whether in mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, or plastics processing – the WNMG-ALZ RT100 opens up flexible application possibilities for finishing and medium turning operations.
Special features
The uncoated cutting edge effectively helps to prevent built-up edges, ensuring high process reliability, especially with aluminum alloys. With two available corner radii (0.4 mm and 0.8 mm), the tool choice can also be optimally matched to the required surface finish and stability.
