Ingersoll TaeguLine introduces HEX-TURN, a new unique addition to the turning point product line that offers exceptional performance and cost savings benefits. The 12 cutting edges of this hexagonal, negative insert provide dramatically reduced production costs. Each corner of the insert contains wiper geometry that enhances the quality of the machined surface even on high feed applications. HEX-TURN has been designed with two main chip breakers: the GU and the SU. The GU chip breaker has a strong cutting edge and is for general turning applications on steel and cast iron. The SU chip breaker has high positive rake geometry to minimize built up edge and reduce cutting forces. This makes it ideal for machining nickel based super alloys and stainless steels. The external and internal tool holders utilize Ingersoll’s T-Type clamping system that provides exceptional clamping force with fast, accurate indexing. HEX-TURN is a very economical solution with 12 cutting edges. Its wiper geometry provides exceptional productivity and high quality surface finish. When used in conjunction with the T-Type holders, HEX-TURN provides a 45 degree lead angle for both turning and facing operations.
