Chipbreaker series Turning inserts with wiper Wiper is assembled by three curves to form a circular arc edge. The Nose of wiper supply less profile highness on the surface that formed by cutting edge, so it can achieve a smooth finishing result on turning surface. Inserts with wiper has high efficiency when used for Finish and Semi-Finish Turning. The surface quality would remain same even under double feed rate.
When used for finishing, it could improve roughness of workpiece’s surface, achieves turning instead of grinding. When used for semi-finishing, efficiency could be improved by doubling feed rate while remaining same roughness on workpiece’s surface.

●Choose reasonable approach angle of the tools
●Be careful with DNMX/TNMX inserts
Minor angle is closing to 0 degree is the reason of inserts with wiper could reduce roughness of surface, which is determined by shape of insert and approach angle of the toolholder. So, acceptable roughness of surface is the result of choosing reasonable approach (minor)angle. Finishing function of wiper would be reduced or invalidated if chose unreasonable approach (Minor) Angle. For example, the approach angle should be 95o for CNMG/WNMG inserts while 93 degree is best for DNMX/TNMX inserts.
DNMX/TNMX inserts with wiper could not be generally used in applications, it can’t achieve a wiper result in which secondary approach angle are not 0 degree, like machining chamfer and profile surface, Even will cause over-cutting or nocutting on workpieces then effect the shape and size precision of workpieces. Please contact technical service stuff to solve these problems.
