Applications

This insert is excellently suited for the precise machining of stainless steel components in industrial manufacturing. It demonstrates its strengths particularly in finishing tasks characterized by continuous or light interrupted cuts. With this design, it is a well-thought-out solution for turning shops and mechanical engineering, where high dimensional accuracy and flawless surface finish are required.

Special features

Thanks to the wear-resistant PVD coating of the M20-M30 carbide grade, the insert creates favorable conditions for consistent work results. The MF design also reduces cutting pressure, which allows the tool to optimally support the machining process even during demanding contouring or longitudinal turning operations, while protecting the machine.
