Suggestion on a insert

Oct 06, 2010 3 Replies

Does anyone have any suggestion on an indexable insert, preferably a CNMG that would work well on manually turning stainless steel?


I should have added that we cannot flood the tool, so adding oil to the cut is about all we can do.

Sandvik CNMG432 MM chipbreaker grade 2035. Good tough insert. MF chipbreaker for low power cutting.

Vardex makes an insert that I use all the time for stainless at work. I can't remember the numbers, but I think it was called 'versa turn'.

it was made for stuff like 316SS.
