DCGT0702**-AL-NE Inserts for Aluminum

Machining Materials

• (N) - Non-ferrous materials - Aluminum, Copper alloys, Plastic (Aluminum, Copper alloys, non metallic materials)

Chipbreaker

• (AL) - Geometry for general machining of aluminum and non-metallic materials. Features a particularly large rake angle (rake angle) for smoother chip flow and avoidance of built-up edge due to material adhesion on the cutting edge. Suitable for moderate machining of soft (sticky) materials.

Feed

• Fn = 0.02~0.30 mm/rev

Cutting Speed

• (N21-30) - Vc=250~800 m/min

Economical lathe inserts from Echain, a cutting tool manufacturer from Taiwan. The choice of the appropriate insert depends on the chipbreaker, that is the geometry that helps in breaking and removing the chip, as well as the grade, which describes the microstructure and coating of the insert and directly affects hardness and fracture toughness. The cutting conditions (speed, feed, depth) must be carefully set to achieve maximum tool performance and life.
