Tungaloy extends small turned parts tooling range
1 min read
Chipbreaker inserts have joined the recently launched Tungaloy J-Series of toolholders and turning inserts for high precision turning operations. It is now, the company claims, one of the most comprehensive ranges available for sliding-head lathe users and manufacturers of small and intricate components.
The JS range of chipbreaker inserts features a "dynamic inclination" that lowers cutting forces and improves chip control. An additional benefit is a steep protrusion that breaks chips at small depths of cut while improving chip coiling when taking larger depths of cut. When combined with Tungaloy's high quality PVD coated SH730 grade, says the company, they will be ideal for internal turning processes for customers machining steels, stainless and super alloys.
The positive rake JSVJ2B external turning toolholder, which complements the internal turning inserts, has a 93° lead angle making it very versatile, says Tungaloy. It is available in right or left-hand versions and accommodates the J2 cutting edge style and is available with 10X10, 12X12 or 16X16mm shanks.
The 91° JSVAB toolholder supports Tungaloy's A cutting edge style. Suitable for finishing operations when external turning, it is offered without an offset and, like the JSVJ2B, it is available in dimensions to suit various small turning centres.
The Japanese manufacturer has also added the JSVL2P toolholder for turning and facing operations. With its 95° lead angle, this toolholder offers Tungaloy's L2 type cutting edge style. For profiling, there is now the JSVP2P positive rake profiling toolholder, which with the company's P2 cutting edge style, has a 117.5° lead angle.
