ISCAR offers a new small sized cost saving insert. "In many turning applications, machinists tend to use larger inserts than are actually required for the machining parameters being applied," said a company spokesperson. "To fill the need, ISCAR is introducing a wide range of ISOTURN small sized inserts, which provide an economical advantage regarding cost per cutting edge."
The new inserts are available in a wide range of geometries, corner radii, new chipformers and the most advanced SUMO TEC carbide grades. The available geometries are WNMG 33.., WNMX 34.., CNMG 33.., CNMX 34.., SNMG 33.., DNMG 33.., TNMG 33.. and TNMX 34... According to the company, these inserts are generally thicker than the standard inserts of the same sizes, thus providing higher durability, and can run at feedrates similar to the larger inserts.
The 3/8" inscribed circle ECO inserts can cover about 75% of turning applications, as the most popular D.O.C. range is between .03" to .120". "Therefore, small sized inserts can handle this machining range with reduced costs, when compared to the 1/2 inch inscribed circle larger inserts being widely used in such applications," said the spokesperson. When .120 to .200" D.O.C. is required, the 1/2" inscribed circle insert size can be used.
ISCAR is adding the small sized HELITURN LD inserts in WNMX, CNMX and TNMX geometries. According to the company, these inserts, like their larger counterparts, have high positive radial helical cutting edges and positive rake angles, which is a combination that substantially reduces cutting forces and thus enables machining at higher cutting loads.
"As the ISO turning applications are used extensively in the metalcutting industry, the new inserts and tools can be used to focus on the applications where large inserts are unnecessarily used instead of using smaller, more economical inserts, which can do the same job successfully," said the spokesperson.
