WNT unveils Dragonskin -XU chipbreaker for turning

WNT's Dragonskin range sees the arrival of a range of turning inserts with chipbreaker geometry. Targeting close contour machining and general turning, the -XU chipbreaker is overcoming many problems, especially where swarf control is problematic, says WNT.

Dragonskin coated inserts are available in all five ISO material groups with the -XU chipbreaker inserts being designed to fill the area of non, low and high alloyed steels, that tend to be long chipping materials. The -XU chipbreaker has been developed to make finishing cuts through to light roughing cuts in a range of applications, but its ability to control swarf in these long chipping materials makes it suitable for use on turning centres due to the increased process security that short chips bring. The -XU chipbreaker design is available on inserts in the CNMG, DNMG, VNMG and WNMG ISO insert styles.
