Walter's Cermet WEP10C turning insert suited for finishing with continuous and slightly interrupted cut

Walter has introduced a new cermet turning insert. The new PVD coated cermet grade WEP10C, along with low cutting pressure from its negative clearance FP5 geometry and cutting-edge preparation, can boost productivity and dimensional stability in mass production, said the company.
Primary application is steel (ISO P) with secondary application in stainless steel (ISO M) and cast iron (ISO K). Also, the new FP5 geometry allows inserts well suited for finishing with continuous and slightly interrupted cuts, and wear resistance.
These indexable turning inserts are designed for applications where a soft cut and high precision is required. The insert's cermet grade with multilayer PVD TiCN TiAlN coating and extra fine cermet substrate grain extends tool life.
In addition to the negative clearance geometry FP5, the inserts are also available in positive clearance FP2 and FP4 geometries, The FP4 geometry is ideal for finishing operations with visibly shiny surface finish, while the FP2 geometry is ideal for small diameters, fine boring and in general any application that requires a sharper cutting edge. The grade WEP10C is offered in most common ISO shaped inserts including C, D, S, T, V, and W.
