A new tooling solution for machining of titanium alloys and heat-resistant super alloys materials is now being introduced by Sandvik Coromant. The new and patented Xcel tool provides a host of design advantages when semi-rough turning into shoulders, not previously available from a single tool. Xcel features the accessibility and easy programming of an 80-degree insert along with reduced wear compared to a square insert used at a 45 degree entering angle.
