High-performance indexable insert for demanding profiling and contouring

The Indexable insert - VBMT...-PM RT250+ offers professional machinists a reliable solution for medium steel turning. Thanks to its positive 35° basic shape, it opens up versatile possibilities even when dealing with tight and complex workpiece contours. The combination of a stable PM geometry and a two-color CVD coating creates excellent conditions for efficient and process-safe chip removal in daily production.

Applications

This turning insert is specifically tailored for the medium turning of steel materials. The sharp 35° angle makes it an excellent choice for profile turning operations and for accessing confined areas on the workpiece.

As the cutting symbol indicates, this tool is designed to handle continuous as well as light interrupted cuts. This supports efficient workflows even with varying depths of cut or minor workpiece irregularities.

Special features

A key advantage of the RT250+ grade is its two-color coating, which allows machine operators to quickly and easily monitor tool wear directly at the lathe. This helps to economically utilize the insert's tool life while preventing unexpected edge failures.

Furthermore, the well-designed PM geometry promotes controlled chip formation. This is particularly beneficial for machining complex contours and maintaining stability in automated manufacturing processes.
