Cleveland, Ohio - Officials from Tungaloy Corp. are pleased to announce the expansion of the DoMiniTurn External Line with round shanks. The round shank can be used in a sleeve holder for main and sub-spindles on automatic lathes increasing efficiency in external turning of miniature parts. Tungaloy’s double-sided DXGU inserts are applicable for this newly developed round shank.
DoMiniTurn is an innovative tool that is already well recognized in such industries as automotive, IT, and medical for its high functionality and productivity in small parts machining using an automatic Swiss lathe. These applications typically use one sided, positive inserts. With DoMiniTurn’s innovative double-sided insert geometry, the cutting force is maintained as low as that of a positive one-sided insert while doubling the number of cutting edges, thus dramatically reducing tooling cost.
Responding to the market demand, 10 types of round shanks are available in different diameters and lengths for various machines. This addition of round shanks to the DoMiniTurn / External Line, combined with square shanks which are already available in the market, help increase customers’ productivity and provide significant cost reduction in a wide range of applications on automatic lathes.
Main features:
- Round shanks for external turning on sleeve holders
- Shanks available in 10 types with different diameters and lengths
- Applicable for DXGU inserts: Double-sided insert with low cutting force, 4 corners total
Added toolholders:
- Total: 10 items
