Turning inserts: The importance of chip breakers
Why chip breakers are important for turning inserts
Indexable inserts are indispensable in machining – they come in a variety of shapes, types, designs and for a wide range of applications. Chip breakers play a key role in indexable inserts, as they have a significant impact on the efficiency and quality of the machining process.
In our latest white paper “Turning inserts: The importance of chip breakers“, we focus on turning tools.
Our white paper provides insightful information
Chip breakers, also known as chip formers or chip grooves, are special geometric features on the indexable insert. The main function of chip breakers is to control and break the chips produced during machining, ensuring that they do not become too long and disrupt the machining process.
It is important to consider both the material to be machined and the specific requirements when it comes to choosing the right tool, e.g. finishing inserts have different chip breakers to roughing inserts.
