Compatibility of the material for the diamond turning process is crucial to achieve clean cutting with reduced surface damage. Grain structure and the presence of impurities in the material affect ...

The most important factor to consider is the material being machined. The material should have tool wear and sufficient ductility in order to enable clean cutting with reduced surface damage.

WALTER TOOLS introduced WEP01C cermet turning indexable inserts with the highly positive, soft-cutting FX4 chip breaker geometry. The indexable insert with fully precision ground circumference is ...

There has been tremendous progress made in recent years on ways to make roughing operations more efficient. But what about finishing? Long cycle times may be necessary to generate high-quality surface ...

Turning is a metalcutting process used for the generation of cylindrical surfaces. Typically the workpiece is rotated on a spindle and the tool is fed into it radially, axially or both ways ...

It is well established that hard part turning can reduce machining time and costs by 70% or more in comparison with conventional grinding techniques, while also offering improved process flexibility ...
