Tungaloy’s New TurnTen-Feed Simplifies Heavy Turning

Components manufactured in aerospace, power generation and heavy equipment sectors typically require high material removal rates and extended machining hours, for these manufacturers, Tungaloy has now introduced its new TurnTen-Feed turning line. Manufacturers machining large and expensive components demand high machining reliability and tool life predictability – it is here that Tungaloy’s new TurnTen-Feed excels by maximising efficiency and economy in medium to heavy turning operations.

The impressive new TurnTen-Feed provides tool reliability and machining efficiency in an application range of medium to heavy turning. The inserts feature a cost-efficient design with 10 cutting edges in a double-sided format, mounted with a secure Dovetail clamping method to ensure high insert reliability and stability during demanding operations. The dedicated -MNW style chipbreaker is designed to ensure smooth chip flow, while the wiper geometry built into the cutting edge allows high feed machining at up to 2mm per rev.

The new arrival is available with two insert sizes, the POMG110612 15.87mm I.C. (inscribed circle diameter) and the POMG130612 19.05mm I.C diameter. This offers tremendous cost efficiency over standard ISO inserts with equivalent sizes, such as the existing CNMM1606 and SNMM1906. Insert grades are available in Tungaloy’s T9200s, a series of CVD grades that offer exceptional cutting performance in high speed turning applications.

Tungaloy offers two types of toolholder and this enhances the turning application range. The HD (High Depth-of-cut) holder excels when machining up to 7mm depth-of-cut whereas the HF (High Feed) holder designation enables high feed turning up to 2.0mm per rev. These 2 types of holders can accommodate either type of insert.
