Radial indexable inserts:
MAPAL offers a range of radial inserts which covers the requirements with a variety of cutting materials and coatings and the relevant insert geometries and levels of accuracy. For multiple insert tools, even where these are fixed, the high precision MAPAL inserts combined with accurately manufactured insert pockets allow only small deviations in the inserts in relation to one another and this in turn produces a 'true' multi-insert function and significant increases in performance.
Tangential indexable inserts:
The positive ground cutting edges on the tangential inserts allow an extremely smooth cut, which produces long tool life and good quality results. Compared to using standard ISO indexable inserts more inserts can also be incorporated onto the tool with the same or an even higher level of stability in tool body. This results in higher feed rates being applied.
