Tool life doubled when machining a screw in Iconel 718.
The customer is threading a screw in Inconel 718, which causes heavy wear on the insert.
Tool life per cutting edge does not exceed 20 parts. The customer is looking for a way to increase the tool life.
Solution
The Bimu 080R - 60° insert, with its sharp edges and very smooth, highly heat-resistant BI110 coating, makes all the difference and doubles tool life. What’s more, the purchase price per cutting edge is substantially lower than that of the reference insert.
