Tungsten carbide indexable turning tool is made by clamping the indexable tungsten carbide blade on the shank through mechanical means. There are over three cutting edges in the blade for indexable use. When there is one of them being worn, the blade can be turned to anther cutting edge and thus continues to be in use. After all cutting edges are worn, they can be replaced by other blades of the same kind.

 

Tungsten carbide indexable turning tool, compared with brazed turning tool, is of advantages as follows:

I. Long service life due to the avoiding of high temperature caused by welding and sharpening.

II. High productivity due to the reducing of blade changing times.

III. Lower cost in cutting tools due to long service life of shanks and the simplification of cutting tool management.

 

Tungsten carbide indexable turning tool is all in all a type of advanced cutting tool which can greatly reduce sharpening cost of tools and improve cutting efficiency.
