GTE Valenite Corporation has incorporated a dynamic modeling system for preproduction testing of insert geometries. Called Cutting Tool Expert System (CTES), the new modeler simulates an insert in the cut and thus allows manipulation of features (dimples, bumps, rake angles, and the like) to improve the design of an insert's geometry and ultimately deliver better performance.

CTES was developed to help eliminate trial and error in insert development and bring new insert ...

One grade doubles turning output. (Tool Talk).
Tooling & Production ; A new insert grade, SC1519, from Stellram, developed for turning both gray and ductile iron, doubles output per edge and eliminates the need for two inserts--one for each metal. The new insert, in combination with the new 4U geometry, can be used for roughing, semi-finishing and finishing

Modern Machine Shop ; Throwing away worn carbide inserts? Then you may be interested in a service that not only resharpens those inserts for added use, but also guarantees that the reclaimed inserts will perform at least as well as brand new ones. Most companies do throw away their worn inserts, explains Bob Laflamme,
Insert Holders For Boring And Finishing.
Modern Machine Shop ; The new 80-degree, diamond shape (CC) insert holders for applications requiring finished boring and finishing to a square shoulder in the same operation are now offered with the company's EWN finished boring system for diameters from 1.260 to 7.6 . The new insert holders use the EWN design, which
New insert with five cutting edges.(Products)
Modern Applications News ; Iscar Metals, Inc. offers Pentacut, the new insert with five cutting edges for shallow precision grooving, and parting and recessing. These inserts feature central recess for chip formation, frontal curved rake face for chip curling, versatile chip-former carbide grade, and new PVD coated submicron
Carbide inserts supplant ceramics in cast iron application.(Case Histories)
Cutting Technology ; Until recently, Rohm Tool GmbH, Sontheim/Brenz, Germany, always used silicon-nitride inserts for its cast iron machining. That's because, according to Erich Kehrle, responsible for turning in Rohm's production engineering department, it wasn't possible to use carbide inserts for roughing cast iron

New insert grade doubles turning output.
MetlFax ; Steliram has developed a new insert grade, SC 1519, in the new 4U geometry that doubles output in turning both gray and ductile iron workpieces and eliminates the need for two inserts, one for each metal. Now a single grade can be used for turning both gray and ductile iron. The Steliram SC1519
When to clear tool offsets. (CNC Tech Talk)
Modern Machine Shop ; Turning center users know that tool offsets are used for three basic purposes: to correct imperfections during setup; to compensate for tool wear; and to ensure that the first workpiece will come out on size (with trial cutting). A turning center operator works very hard during program verification
BALL BEARING INSERT.
Industrial Maintenance & Plant Operation ; A new insert is now available for Dodge E-Z Kleen polymer-housed ball bearings. This insert is protected by a proprietary coating which provides corrosion resistance. It can carry the fully rated dynamic and static capacity of the bearing.
