FIX8™ – Tangential Turning Insert
Medium machining and roughing solution with 8 cutting edges per insert
Kennametal’s new tangential turning insert FIX8™ is the medium machining and roughing solution that enables large depths of cut (up to 12mm) and feed rate (up to 1.4mm), ensuring exceptionally high metal removal rates in steel, cast iron and stainless steels.
Technology
- 8 cutting edges per insert reduce the cost per edge
- Unique clamping system pulls the insert into the pocket seat, enabling the insert to withstand large cutting forces and vibrations
- Precision 3D coolant technology improves chip breaking from the top of the insert and temperature control from the bottom of the insert
- Longer tool life and higher metal removal rates improve productivity
- New positive chip breaker design offers excellent chip control at wide range of DOC and feed rates
- Reduces cutting forces by up to 20%
Performance
- Designed for machining steel, stainless steel and cast-iron materials
- Primarily used in roughing and medium machining operations with a trend for high feed rates and DOC
- Heavily interrupted or slightly interrupted cut applications
- Problem solver for deflection, chatter and insert breakage
- Ideal for general engineering, transportation, energy and aerospace industries
