Universal NGU chipbreaker for positive insert geometries
The versatility and reliability of cutting tools is becoming increasingly important not only for turning of components for the automotive industry, but also in many other areas of application.
As a solution to these increasing demands, Sumitomo has developed the general-purpose NGU chip breaker for positive M-class inserts. As already known from negative insert shapes, the positive NGU type also features extremely stable chip control and covers a very wide range of applications from finishing to light interrupted cutting.
Excellent chip control despite different cutting conditions
The chipbreaker shape is characterized by a wide chip pocket, which provides improved chip control under different cutting conditions. This prevents the chips from being trapped during the machining process and ensures a stable process flow. The new chipbreaker geometry is available for use in both steel materials and stainless steels.
