Ingersoll Cutting Tools says its SuperTurnZ inserts are an innovative system for multidirectional turning which uses the front and back cutting edge of a four-corner insert in a single tool.
The inserts are said to be a productive alternative to conventional turning where 80-degree and 35-degree corner inserts are fed in the same direction. Instead, these inserts use all four directions available on a conventional two-axis lathe (+Z, -Z, +X, -X) to maximize material removal.
These double-sided positive inserts have the same axial and radial rake angle and capability as standard ISO positive inserts, enabling low cutting forces, but with double the cutting edges and much higher feed rate capabilities, the company says.
