How to choose high-quality lathe tool insert?
1. Why choose carbide lathe turning insert and Turning tool insert?
Carbide is an ideal choice for lathe insert due to its high hardness, high temperature resistance and wear resistance. Compared with traditional steel insert, carbide insert can:
Extend service life: reduce downtime for frequent blade replacement.
Improve processing efficiency: adapt to higher speed and feed rate, shorten processing cycle.
Ensure stable precision: not easy to deform at high temperature, ensure the consistency of workpiece size.
