Cutting Recommendations
To maximize the life and performance of your SCMT 432 C-6 insert:
- Application: Use primarily for turning steel alloys.
- Depth of Cut: Suitable for heavy roughing passes. Start with manufacturer-recommended speeds and feeds for your specific steel type and adjust as needed.
- Semi-Finishing: For semi-finishing passes, reduce the depth of cut and increase the speed (RPM) to achieve a finer surface finish.
- Coolant: Use a steady supply of high-quality coolant to manage heat, extend tool life, and flush chips away from the cutting zone.
- Rigidity: Ensure your tool holder and machine setup are rigid to prevent vibration, which can lead to premature insert failure.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the main use for this SCMT 432 C-6 insert?
A: This insert is specifically designed for turning operations on steel. Its C-6 grade makes it perfect for heavy roughing and semi-finishing cuts.
Q: What is the ISO designation for this insert?
A: The equivalent ISO designation is SCMT120408.
Q: Can I use this insert for finishing?
A: While it’s optimized for roughing and semi-finishing, you can achieve a good finish. For a dedicated, high-precision finishing pass, you might consider an insert with a smaller corner radius or a different “finishing” chipbreaker.
Q: How long does shipping take?
A: We process orders quickly! You can expect your items to be delivered within 3-5 business days.
