What are turning inserts used for?
Turning inserts have high hardness and wear resistance, and can perform high-speed, high-efficiency, high-precision metal processing to obtain high-quality processing results. There are many types, including inner circle inserts, outer circle inserts, cutting inserts, thread inserts, etc. Different types of inserts are suitable for different processing needs. They are mainly used as cutting tools on lathes and other processing equipment. The following are the specific uses of turning inserts:
Turning: The main use of turning inserts is turning on lathes, that is, by rotating the workpiece and moving the tool, the shape of the workpiece is accurately cut to obtain parts of the required shape and size. It is suitable for the processing of various metal materials such as steel, cast iron, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, etc.

Fine processing: Turning inserts can perform high-speed, high-efficiency, and high-precision metal processing. They can process workpieces of various shapes, sizes, and surface roughness, including outer diameters, inner holes, end faces, and complex contours. They can be used to manufacture various metal parts, such as shafts, sleeves, threads, etc.
Material cutting: Turning inserts are suitable for cutting and processing different types of metal materials, including steel, aluminum, copper, cast iron, etc., as well as special materials such as alloy steel, stainless steel, etc.
Surface processing: Turning inserts can achieve high-quality surface roughness and shape accuracy, and are usually used for parts processing that require smooth surfaces or specific surface features.
Mass production: In industrial production, turning inserts are usually used for mass processing, which can quickly and efficiently manufacture a large number of identical or similar parts.
Replaceability: Turning inserts have the characteristics of being replaceable. When used, you can choose blades of different shapes, cutting angles and cutting materials according to different processing requirements to achieve the best processing effect.
Turning inserts are one of the indispensable cutting tools in metal processing, with a wide range of applications and powerful functions. By selecting suitable turning inserts and using and maintaining them correctly, you can obtain high-quality processing results and long service life.
