Improved cycle times with multidirectional capability

The AddMultiTurn system enables machining in several directions with a single insert, which reduces tool changes and increases machine uptime. The combination of the multidirectional concept and a compact insert design supports more productive setups in turning centres and lathes. For operations that alternate between longitudinal cutting, facing and light profiling, the system architecture—comprising holder, replaceable inserts and a robust clamping mechanism—translates directly into fewer interruptions and more consistent throughput.

Consistent edge performance under varying conditions

The SH725 coated carbide grade is formulated for toughness and edge stability, especially suited to smaller tools or fluctuating engagement depths. The insert’s double-sided chipbreaker and 0.8 mm corner radius help maintain a steady cutting edge and predictable chip formation, which reduces vibration and improves surface finish. These features make the insert a reliable choice where process stability and repeatability are required under mixed cutting conditions.

Geometry and dimensions that support versatility

A 60° included angle and a 16 mm inscribed circle size combine to offer strength and accessibility in confined toolpaths. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm and a relief angle of 0° explain the insert’s rigidity and the way it seats in the pocket, while the triangular shape provides three usable cutting edges per side. Such geometry is beneficial for finishing and medium-duty operations where tool life and edge life are priorities.

System integration for predictable production

As a component of a matched tool system, the insert works with purpose-made holders and clamping parts to ensure repeatable positioning and secure fixation via the cylindrical hole. This mechanical consistency reduces setup variation and inspection cycles. The result is a pragmatic balance between cutting performance and operational economy, delivering measurable advantages for batch production and frequent changeovers.

FAQ

What turning operations is this insert best suited for?
This insert is designed for longitudinal turning, facing and profiling, benefiting from the AddMultiTurn system for multidirectional use.

What material is the insert made from and what is the grade?
The insert is made from carbide and supplied in the SH725 coated grade for toughness and stable cutting edges.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular form provides multiple usable edges; the design offers three indexable cutting corners per side, giving efficient edge rotation.

What is the corner radius and how does it affect surface finish?
The corner radius is 0.8 mm; a moderate radius improves edge strength and contributes to a consistent surface finish while controlling cutting forces.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
Fixation is via a cylindrical hole and the corresponding clamping system of the AddMultiTurn toolholder to ensure repeatable positioning.
