New 25-degree turning inserts are said to increase productivity and
reduce tooling costs in copy turning. The inserts have a corner relief
angle of 25 degrees, which is 10 degrees smaller than conventional VNMG
series inserts. The inserts, good for machining bearings, punches, and
pulley components, reduce undesired interference with the workpiece and
allow for machining operations in difficult areas where 35-degree
inserts are not effective.

With a new quick-jaw change chuck a complete jaw set can be changed
in less than 60 seconds, with a repeatability of less than 0.0005 in
This eliminates the need to re-bore jaws in many cases. A wedge-bar
actuation system allows the chuck to offer large through holes with fast
spindle speeds. The chuck reduces downtimes and helps to maximize
throughput and return-on-investment of any turning center.
