Turning Inserts with New Grades/Geometries

Widia offers an expanded range of Victory™ Turning Inserts with new grades and geometries that accentuate smooth machining and excellent chip control. These feature the Universal Roughing geometry for smooth chip forming and increased tool life. Shops turning a wide range of materials face extreme challenges daily. They know that the most efficient machining means finding the “sweet spot.” Too slow may increase attention to detail but also increase opportunities from speedier competitors. Accelerating speeds and feeds may actually lower efficiency if you’re using up tooling faster or stopping your turning center more often to clean out stringers. For difficult-to-machine materials like Inconel and Rene in complex aerospace applications or cobalt-chromes and high-alloy stainless steels in precise medical applications, the new Widia Victory FS geometry is a ground, high positive design best used in finishing tasks where surface finish and minimizing part deflection are critical. Precision grinding, proprietary nose geometry, and optimized edge treatment result in an insert that retains its high-quality cutting edge with minimal heat generation and good chip breaking at finishing parameters. Its high rake angle reduces cutting forces and also reduces built-up edge.
