Sumitomo Electric Offers Affordable Alternative to DNMG Inserts - The 55 Degree Sumiturn T-Rex Triangle Insert
Mount Prospect, IL - More cutting edges and a lower price make Sumitomo's new 55 degree SumiTurn T-REX triangle insert a cost-effective replacement for 55 degree DNMG. The T-REX features six cutting edges compared to the four edges of a conventional DNMG.
The T-REX's uniquely contoured edges result in rigid clamping within the turning system, and provide for accurate insert indexing.
The T-REX is available in three grades: AC700G for finishing steels and stainless steels, and for roughing cast irons; AC2000 for general purpose machining of steels, stainless steels, and cast irons; and AC3000 for heavy roughing and interrupted machining of steels and stainless steels. Maximum cutting depth is 2.5 mm (0.100"). LU chipbreakers allow for finish to medium cutting, while GU chipbreakers enable medium to rough cutting.
T-REX inserts are exclusively compatible with T-REX turning toolholders and boring bars.
