Tungaloy Corporation expanded the range of positive inserts for DoOcto, the series for face milling operations. DoOcto / DoQuad highlighted the economic advantages of double-sided inserts with multiple corners. The series now introduces two types of 8-cornered positive inserts applicable on the existing cutter bodies.
OWMT-ML insert is suitable for machining workpiece materials with low rigidity and difficult-to-cut materials, such as stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys, due to low cutting force and good chip control. OWMT-HJ insert is ideal for roughing large-sized workpiece materials with wide surface as it performs excellent chip evacuation at high feed. In addition, the inserts provide stable machining and long tool life, because of the new grade AH3135 with alternately stacked layers.
This expansion expands the line-up of the inserts of DoOcto/DoQuad to four types, including the existing two types of economical double-sided inserts that are suitable for steel and cast iron machining.
