Dormer Pramet has launched several new inserts and a grade to support turning in specific materials

The new chip breakers – developed under the Dormer Pramet’s Pramet brand – target finishing and medium to roughing turning operations in steel and cast iron, high temperature alloys and stainless steel.

Firstly, the NF1 and NF2 positive chip breakers support turning applications in stainless steel. The balanced shape of these new inserts offers excellent chip control, with low cutting forces promoting both high durability and productivity.

The NF1 is a universal chip breaker for finishing to medium machining, peripherally ground to provide a very good surface finish. The versatile NF2 chip breaker incorporates a small stabilizing T-Land and covers a wide range of applications from semi-finishing to light roughing.

Pramet’s new FF2, FM2 and RM3 inserts for steel and cast iron provide very good chip control at low feed and depth of cut with a high quality machined surface finish.

The FF2 chip breaker has a positive rake angle and depth of cut from 0.15mm for fine finishing applications in low carbon steels. The FM2 chip breaker is for finishing to medium machining with depths of cut from 0.2mm. Featuring a protective land, it is suitable for continuous and interrupted operations.
