Only a finely tuned cutting edge geometry provides optimum chip breaking. For grooving and recessing, this is critically important because chips that refuse to break are particularly undesirable in narrow grooves. Increased process reliability when grooving and recessing is fulfilled by the new UD4 geometry in the Walter Cut range. The new UD4 indexable inserts come with special details and it ensures optimum chip breaking across the entire cutting edge. For longitudinal turning with machining depths of 1 to 4 mm, roughing chip breakers are effective, whereas for finishing using lower feeds in the range of 0.5 to 1 mm, appropriate finishing chip breakers should be used. For radial recesses, the indexable inserts have additional chip breakers behind the front cutting edge. Thanks to these features, coiled swarf that could disrupt the process is all but excluded thus ensuring increased tool life and reduced downtime.
