Fly through metalworking tasks with this lathe part from Pramet. The tool's rounded edges ease the cutting force needed, helping to provide a smooth surface finish. As its tungsten carbide-cobalt body stands up to heat, impact and wear, the component is built to last. Don't worry about friction, as the insert's 7° clearance angle ensures it won't rub against the workpiece.

• Handles cutting speeds up to 255m/min for fast workpiece processing
• Comes in a box of 10, so you'll have plenty in stock for multiple jobs
• Supports continuous and interrupted cutting for versatility

• Boring and turning processes
• Furniture manufacturing

This insert works with steel, stainless steel and cast iron workpieces, so it's highly versatile.

Turning Inserts

Breakdown of ISO Reference

Higher Number = Tougher / Resistant to Impact
Lower Number = Harder / Wear Resistant

TU5525 the New Universal Turning Grade

TU5525 is a truly universal tuning grade suitable for cutting Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron and heat resistant Aaloys. There is no need to hold stock of a multitude of grades reducing the cost of inventory and time wasted changing inserts. One insert for almost all applications.

TP2135 a Tough Impact Resistant Grade

If insert breakage or chipping of the cutting edge is a problem TP2135 may be the answer. Some application do not offer the cutting edge a constant cutting surface whether from a non round part or holes in the part this constant impact on the cutting edge can lead to insert failing. TP2135 is designed to take higher impact loads giving a more secure cutting edge, suitable for cutting steel, stainless steel and heat resistant alloys.
