Comparison Between Turning Inserts And Traditional Inserts
Turning Inserts:
Specialized replaceable cutting tips designed for turning operations.
Indexable (can be rotated to use multiple cutting edges).
Turning Inserts: Cemented carbide, cermet, CBN, or PCD with advanced coatings (TiN, TiCN, Al₂O₃, etc.).
High cutting speed.Suitable for automation and mass production.
Application Scope:CNC lathes, precision turning, hardened steel, aluminum, superalloys.Widely used in modern manufacturing.
Traditional Inserts :
solid HSS (High-Speed Steel) or brazed carbide tools, the cutting edge is part of the whole tool, not indexable.
limited performance, lower wear resistance,Lower cutting speed.
Less efficient in high-volume production.
Application Scope:Manual lathes, low-volume work, workshops without CNC.
More suitable for custom or repair jobs.
