Turning Tool Suits Semi-Finish to Medium Machining

Taegutec has launched the PC Positive Chipbreaker, designed for turning operations under a variety of cutting conditions, including the machining of steels, inconel, aluminium and cast iron. Part of the Taegutec T-Turn range, the new insert designation has been developed for the steady and continuous control of swarf to improve tool life and machining stability. The single-sided PC Chipbreaker insert is suitable for semi-finish to medium machining and can be applied to a variety of applications and materials.

The geometry of the new insert incorporates a slightly waved cutting edge, a dimple design for low cutting forces and a wide chip groove for smooth and consistent machining. These attributes enable the new grade to deliver improved tool-life performance when compared to competitor products for the machining range from 0.5 to 3mm depth of cut. Operating at feed rates from 0.1 to 0.3mm/rev when machining at speeds in excess of 200m/min, the PC Chipbreaker comfortably machines carbon steels, stainless steels, high tensile cast iron, aluminium, inconel and hardened steels.

Suitable for automotive, aerospace and general engineering applications, the PC Chipbreaker is available as a PVD, CVD or Cermet-coated grade for the demands of the various materials it is capable of machining. For the diverse turning requirements of the marketplace, Taegutec is introducing three options - the five, seven or 11 degree positive inserts. The widely used seven degree insert is available in seven different forms for the wide variety of tool holders currently in use in the marketplace. At present the five degree insert is available in the VBMT designation whilst the 11 degree inserts are available in CPMT and TPMT formats.
