Key Features of Indexable Lathe Tooling:
✔ Replaceable Inserts – Carbide, ceramic, or diamond inserts are clamped into a tool holder.
✔ Multiple Cutting Edges – Most inserts have 3+ edges, reducing downtime significantly.
✔ Cost-Effective – Saves money since only the insert (not the holder) needs replacement.
✔ Versatile – Different insert shapes (square, triangle, round) suit various cuts (roughing, finishing, threading).
✔ Precision & Consistency – Ensures repeatable cuts with minimal tool adjustment.
How Indexable Lathe Tooling Works:
- Insert wears out? Rotate or flip it to a fresh edge.
- All edges dull? Swap in a new insert (much cheaper than a solid tool).
- Need a different cut? Change the insert type, not the whole tool.
Common Insert Shapes & Uses:
- Square (90°) – General turning/facing.
- Triangle (60°) – Versatile for turning and profiling.
- Round (R-type) – Smooth finishing cuts.
- Diamond (35° or 55°) – Precision threading and fine details.
Why Use Indexable Tooling?
- Faster setups (no manual sharpening).
- Longer tool life (just replace inserts).
- Better performance (high-quality materials like carbide).
Ideal for CNC and manual lathes in machining, manufacturing, and metalworking.
