Tungaloy CBN Inserts Boost Productivity in Hard Part Turning
The company has upgraded its MiniForceTurn by introducing 30 new DXGQ/U0703 inserts with brazed CBN tips and an HP chipbreaker.
Tungaloy has upgraded its MiniForceTurn by introducing 30 new DXGQ/U0703 inserts with brazed cubic boron nitride (CBN) tips and an HP chipbreaker. This upgrade is said to boost productivity in hard part turning applications. The CBN inserts will now be sold in newly designed boxes containing five inserts each.
MiniForceTurn turning tool series offers double-sided turning inserts with positive-rake cutting edges on both sides. These inserts enable free cutting action like that of positive inserts with an added advantage of double cutting edges.
The new DXGQ/U0703 inserts feature a 55-degree nose angle with brazed CBN tips that are designed for hard part turning applications. The inserts incorporate HP chipbreaker and use WavyJoint brazing technology for the CBN tips, which are designed to provide enhanced insert reliability during hard part turning. Also, the inserts feature four total cutting edges for better cost-per-part efficiency.
The inserts are available in three coated-CBN grades: BXA10, BXA20 and BR35F, which cover an application range from continuous to interrupted cuts.
The new DXGQ/U0703 CBN inserts fit the existing toolholders: SDXXR/L style toolholders for internal profiling and SDZXR/L style toolholders for internal back spot facing. The enhanced MiniForceTurn CBN inserts are designed to boost productivity for users involved in internal turning applications of hardened steel parts.
