Perfect the skill of back turning
By integrating advanced cutting geometries with dual cutting zones, WhizCut Original back turning tools enable a high depth of cut, deliver a flawless finish, maintain impressive feed rates, and ensure impeccable chip control in your CNC process.
Succeed with WhizCut Original back turning
- 100% part roundness: WhizCut back turning inserts give minimum radial cutting pressure.
- Flawless finish: Exceptional chip control when the chip is curled along the chip control groove, away from the part.
- Improved tool life: The radius is only worn during the plunging process.
- Time saving: Keeps the size longer without adjustment.
- Flexible: Available in a wide range of unique geometries and highly suitable for all diameters.
MASTER COMPLEX BACKTURNING
Back turning is recognized as one of the most challenging and complex operations in precision machining. From the very beginning, WhizCut has taken on this challenge head-on.
Today, WhizCut is proud to present a comprehensive selection of WhizCut Original back turning inserts designed to not only address these complexities but to excel in performance. Our inserts are engineered to provide precision, reliability, and efficiency, ensuring optimal results in even the most challenging back turning operations.
WhizCut Original inserts, made from premium carbide and coatings, ensure prolonged part size consistency, enable higher cutting data, and minimize both cycle time and downtime. These back turning inserts are classified as K-type for radial turning.
More about K-type turning
WhizCut Original K-type inserts are versatile tools used for back turning, threading, grooving, and parting off. WhizCut offers an extensive range of these inserts, ensuring you always have the perfect tool for your specific application.
Designed with a slight tilt in the tool holder, K-type inserts provide excellent clearance and maximum stability. This design ensures that the cutting force is optimally supported by the holder, enhancing performance and precision.
The unique combination of relief angles and a stable insert pocket seat makes the K-type system ideal for use in Swiss-type lathes.
WhizCut Original K-type inserts and tool holders are engineered for optimal performance in:
WhizGuide
Select the ideal back turning insert
style
B
Style B is ideal for back turning in stainless steel, titanium, nimonic, hastaloy, high-temperature alloys, alloyed steel, and other hard, long-chipped materials requiring good chip control.
style
C
Use Style C flat top inserts for undercuts.
style
BP
Style BP is for sticky materials prone to edge build-up, which can spoil the surface finish or reduce tool life.
style
VLR
Style VLR is used for back turning when a smooth surface is needed when profiling. Such as going in behind the head of a bone screw.
style
BT
Style BT inserts have a chamfer on the leading corner to improve tool life in harder materials. Use them when Style B inserts show early wear.
style
E
Style E is used for finishing operations with high cutting speed and low feed rate, ensuring the best surface finish. The wiper protects the radius, extending tool life compared to conventional full radius inserts.
