Applications
This turning insert was primarily developed for machining non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, and bronze, as well as engineering plastics. It is exceptionally well-suited for finishing and fine machining tasks that require excellent chip control and a burr-free, polished surface. The design fully demonstrates its strengths in continuous cuts during modern CNC turning applications.
Special features
The combination of a highly positive chipbreaker and the uncoated RT100 carbide grade effectively prevents built-up edge formation, which is a crucial advantage when dealing with long-chipping aluminum. The sharpness-optimized cutting edges guarantee low cutting pressure, allowing even delicate components to be turned reliably. The insert is supplied in an industry-standard packaging unit of 10 pieces.
