Shops turning a wide range of materials face extreme challenges daily. They know that the most efficient machining means finding the "sweet spot." Too slow may increase attention to detail but also increase opportunities from speedier competitors. Accelerating speeds and feeds may actually lower efficiency if you're using up tooling faster or stopping your turning center more often to clean out stringers. The WIDIA Victory family of turning inserts from WIDIA is announcing new geometries and grades that extend your turning sweet spot by delivering excellent chip flow that results in smooth machining, improved efficiencies, and extended tool life.
