Sintered chipbreaker extends thread
insert life
A ground profile, threading insert with a sintered chipbreaker provides maximum swarf control, particularly in difficult to machine alloys, and offers longer tool life than ground chipbreakers.
A ground profile, threading insert with a sintered chipbreaker provides maximum swarf control, particularly in difficult to machine alloys, and offers longer tool life than those with ground chipbreakers WNT's continuing drive to deliver the best tooling available at cost-effective prices has resulted in the introduction of a new range of indexable threading inserts

Precision boring tools perform roughing, finishing
Precision modular boring tools provide users with roughing and finish boring capability through an extensive range of modular couplings and extensions.
Cutters make light work of hard materials
Tool life when cutting hard materials up to 70 HRc is greatly improved, thanks to the development of a PVD-multilayer coating used on solid carbide milling cutters.
The range covers all of the popular thread types, including partial and full profile in 55 and 60 deg forms along with trapezoidal, round and NPT forms.
Joining WNT's threading programme for the first time is a ground profile, threading insert with a sintered chipbreaker.
Available in the CCN 7525 carbide grade these inserts provide maximum swarf control, particularly when threading difficult to machine alloys.

Cutters offer stable high feed per tooth usage
Among several advantages offered by indexable insert and solid carbide milling cutters is an insert seat that provides support and excellent stability in high feed per tooth applications.
Big choice offered for cutting small grooves
To satisfy increasing demand for a replaceable insert-based grooving system for small bores an extensive tooling range grooves, undercuts, bores and threads in bores down to 8mm diameter.
The move to sintered chipbreakers gives the user much greater control of swarf, which in turn extends the tool life of the insert when compared to inserts with either ground chipbreakers or no chipbreaker at all.
The second development is aimed specifically at threading stainless steels.
Using the premium CCN 2525 grade of carbide and a multi-layer TiAlN coating, WNT has created an insert that delivers maximum wear resistance when threading stainless and other similar alloys.
WNT has also recognised that not all machines are capable of threading at high speed and this is reflected in the arrival of the TiN-coated CWN 1525 grade inserts.
These general-purpose inserts provide excellent edge strength when threading at lower speeds on a wide range of materials, including steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous metals.
As well as overcoming actual threading problems, these inserts will also be welcome in terms of their cost-effectiveness.
Through using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes WNT is confident that these TiN coated inserts will be among the most competitively priced threading inserts available today.
For those looking to cut small diameter internal threads the Mini L series of inserts provides an answer.
Their unique design has resulted in a capability for cutting internal threads as small as 8mm diameter.
The Mini L is available in 55 and 60 deg profiles in partial and full thread forms.
