SuperTurnZ offered by Ingersoll Cutting Tools is an innovative system for multi-directional turning that utilizes the front and back cutting edge of a four-corner insert in a single tool. It reportedly represents a highly productive alternative to conventional turning; traditionally, where 80- and 35-degree corner inserts are fed in the same direction, SuperTurnZ uses all four directions available on conventional two-axis lathes (+Z, -Z, +X, -X) to maximize material removal.
Further, the double-sided positive SuperTurnZ inserts have the same axial and radial rake angle and capability as standard ISO positive inserts, enabling for low cutting forces, but with double the cutting edges and much higher feed rate capabilities, Ingersoll says.
