WIDIA AL geometry chipbreaker designed for machining aluminum

- Cutting Tools
WIDIA has added an AL geometry to its turning portfolio for machining aluminum and non-ferrous materials.
These inserts come in two grades: WU10HT, an uncoated microfine carbide grade and WU05PT, an AlTiN-coated PVD grade. Each grade is available in all popular styles, including C, D, R, T, and V inserts to increase customer tooling options.
These tools have a highly polished rake face for improved chip flow. The periphery-ground insert also has a sharp cutting edge to increase precision and reduce cutting forces. Reliable tooling performance means machinists can dedicate more time to machining and less time to post-machining deburring operations caused by built-up edge.
