Turning Inserts are indexable cutting tips used in lathe toolholders and chucks, engineered to remove material with a consistent cutting geometry. They support external and internal turning, shoulder profiling and finishing, helping control cutting forces, chip flow and surface quality.
Available in positive or negative geometries, with multiple chipbreakers, nose radii and carbide grades with coatings for steel, stainless, cast iron and difficult alloys. Options from Yg & Dijet focus on stable tool life and repeatable results.
When selecting, match insert grade and geometry to the workpiece material, feed/depth of cut and setup rigidity to minimize vibration and premature wear.
