Wear detection means that optimum utilization of the multi-edged indexable insert can be identified with a quick glance at the cutting edges. Wear on the cutting edges is also easier to see and easier for the machine operator to identify.

A comparison between the wear detection of our new ISO-P insert (CTCP115-P in the example) and its predecessor insert is shown here.

Predictable steel machining

Due to the vast range of ISO-P materials, machining can be challenging. To make machining the biggest material group in metal machining easier for machine operators, we have rethought everything from the substrate to the geometries, right through to the coating – for optimal breakage resistance and hardness of cutting edges. The Dragonskin coating's optimized layer structure is designed specifically to:
