Applications

This turning insert is primarily designed for the precise finishing of stainless steels under continuous cutting conditions. Thanks to the slim cutting corner, it is a practical choice for contour turning, profile turning, and intricate workpiece geometries that cannot be accessed with wider inserts. It is aimed at professional users in both series and small-batch production who require dependable results during fine machining.

Special features

The core of the Indexable insert - VNMG...-FE RT305 is the PVD-coated M20-M30 grade, which is specifically tailored to the characteristics of stainless steel. This modern coating technology aids in reducing cutting edge wear and maintains contour accuracy throughout the machining cycle. Furthermore, the fine FE geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation even at low depths of cut and feed rates, thereby facilitating a stable turning process.
