Indexable turning inserts are replaceable cutting tips used on lathe machines for cutting, facing, grooving, and threading operations on various metal workpieces.

The insert shape determines the strength and versatility. Round inserts are the strongest and best for profiling, while rhombic (80-degree) or triangular inserts offer great accessibility for intricate turning work.

Our turning inserts are typically crafted from high-grade carbide, cermet, or feature specialized coatings (like CVD or PVD) to maximize wear resistance and heat tolerance.

Coated inserts provide a thermal barrier that reduces friction, prevents built-up edges, increases cutting speeds, and significantly extends tool life compared to uncoated inserts.

Chipbreakers control the flow of metal chips, breaking them into smaller, manageable pieces. This prevents chips from tangling around the workpiece or tool holder, ensuring a smoother surface finish and safer operation.
