Applications
The WNMG...-FE RT305 clearly shows its capabilities during the fine finishing and contour machining of stainless steel alloys. It is a well-conceived solution for demanding turning tasks where high dimensional accuracy is required under continuous cutting loads.
Featuring a negative trigon basic shape, this tooling concept provides six usable cutting edges per insert, delivering proven economic benefits for professional series production. Machining long workpiece contours is supported effectively and reliably by the tough cutting material.
Special features
A significant advantage of this indexable insert stems from the harmonization of the FE chipbreaker with the resilient carbide substrate. This specific design visibly minimizes the tendency to form built-up edges, which is crucial when dealing with challenging stainless materials.
Furthermore, the 80-degree corner angle merges the stability of a robust base shape with the precise cutting behavior of a dedicated finishing insert. This leads to controlled chip breaking at low depths of cut, rendering the tool a dependable asset for precise workflow routines.
