BE QUICK IN TURNING OPERATIONS

"There is a great satisfaction in building good tools for other people to use." (Freeman Dyson)

Many people regard the lathe as the forerunner of modern machine tools. Its introduction that made turning operations possible, marked the dawn of machining. Today, turning is still one of the most commonly used machining processes, and lathes remain a substantial part of the global machine tool inventory. This is why turning tools make up a considerable portion of the product range for leading cutting tool manufacturers.

It is not surprising that LOGIQUICK, ISCAR's latest campaign, brings new developments to the market with a significant focus on innovation in the field of turning tools. Some of the newly introduced products extend the existing families within ISCAR's turning line, while others offer unique solutions for advanced manufacturing. Such novelties not only reflect the trends of modern metal cutting but also aim to enhance the profitability of machining operations, particularly in turning.

Several key features characterise the development directions in turning tools, including the following:

Higher Efficiency and Precision:

This involves turning tools that can enhance productivity and precision, accelerate the overall machining process, and minimise waste.

Advanced Cutting Materials and Progressive Coating Methods:

Cutting-edge materials such as ceramics and cubic boron nitride (CBN) are becoming more common in turning tools. Due to excellent heat resistance and durability, these extra-hard materials offer superior cutting speed when compared to traditional tungsten carbide. Concurrently, the need for rapid metal removal is driving interest in progressive coating technologies for cemented carbides. Innovative coatings can enhance cutting capabilities, extend tool life, and reduce wear.
