If you have problems with chip control when back turning, Kyocera has the answer. The new TKFB molded insert with the GQ chipbreaker is designed for optimal chip control.

In this side-by-side comparison, you can see the GQ chipbreaker’s excellent chip control compared to a conventional ground insert. The 3D molded chipbreaker is the key to smooth chip control. The unique shape prevents chips from tangling in the workpiece when turning. Unlike the unstable chip control from a competitor’s insert, the GQ chipbreaker produces small chip curls that won’t tangle in the workpiece.

The GQ chipbreaker is also used to prevent chip clogging in grooving. It provides improved surface finish by controlling chip clogging, and the excellent surface finish is evident even after one pass.

Kyocera’s TKFB insert with the GQ chipbreaker is the first choice for back turning.
