Efficient groove turning with one pass

Optimize your groove turning with WhizCut Original inserts, specifically designed for Swiss-type lathes. These cutting tools can plunge to maximum depth and turn in one pass, reducing cycle time and tool changes. Ideal for parts with various grooves, wide grooves, or multiple 90° corners, using a single insert can notably cut cycle times.

Advantages of WhizCut Original groove turning

  • Efficient grooving: Machine wider grooves in a single tool pass with WhizCut Original.
  • Versatile tooling: One insert can handle multiple operations.
  • Plunge and turn: WhizCut Original inserts eliminate the need for multiple plunging, significantly reducing cycle times in your CNC machine.
  • Precision grooving: Ideal for tight tolerance grooving or when various groove sizes are required.

Straight grooves and perfect surface finish

Machining parts with multiple grooves is time-consuming, but WhizCut Original A-style groove turning inserts allow for a single-pass process, combining grooving and turning. These inserts ensure perfectly straight grooves and an exceptional surface finish.

WhizCut Original J-type groove turning tools, with sharp edges and positive rake angles, ensure excellent chip control and low cutting pressures, enabling grooving of even the smallest parts. These tools handle tasks conventional tooling can’t. For radial turning, check out WhizCut Original K-type inserts and tool holders.

WhizCut Original groove turning inserts come in widths from 0,3 to 3 millimeters, making it easy to find the perfect tool. They are available in flat top, positive cutting rake angles, and various radiuses.

AP VERSATILITY – GROVE TURNING & RELIABLE TURNING

WhizCut’s new AP insert range is developed for outstanding chip control in groove turning operations.
Thanks to its high precision and stability, the insert can be used for both groove turning and turning, increasing flexibility on the machine. With reliable chip breaking – in both radial and axial direction, high stability, and broad application possibilities, the AP series helps manufacturers simplify tooling while maintaining process security and productivity.
