Solid Tool or Indexable Inserts? Why Not Both!
Kyocera SGS Precision Tools’ mill-turn demonstrations highlight varied tool choices and varied application knowledge.

When does an application call for an indexable-insert cutting tool rather than solid carbide? With both tooling types on display in a shared space – an IMTS first for the jointly branded company – Kyocera SGS Precision Tools is likely to have the answer. In addition to standard milling and turning offerings, SGS’s solid line includes sweeping-geometry, circle-segment “barrel cutters” and coolant-through drills, while highlights of Kyocera’s indexables range from end and face mills to grooving, turning and drilling tools.
With application knowledge as broad as the jointly branded product offering, booth representatives also stand ready to show rather than tell. Live cutting demonstrations of both cutting tool types highlight where and why each stands out, while also showcasing the inherent flexibility of a mill-turn machine capable of milling and turning with both indexable or solid carbide tools.
