WIPER INSERT

What is a Wiper Insert?

The wiper insert is designed with a wiper edge that is situated where the straight edge meets the corner radius.
In comparison to conventional inserts, the surface finish does not deteriorate even if the feed rate is doubled.
Machining at high feed rates improves machining efficiency.

W: : General purpose
WS: : Low rigidity work

Improving Surface Finish

Under the same machining conditions as conventional inserts, but with the feed rate increased, the surface finish of the workpiece can be improved.

Improving Efficiency

High feed rates not only shorten machining times but also make it possible to combine roughing and finishing operations.

Increased Tool

LifeWhen changing to high feed conditions, the time required to cut one component is decreased, thus more parts can be machined with each insert. In addition, the high feed rate prevents rubbing, therefore, delaying the progression of wear and increasing the tool life of the insert.

Cutting Performance

Dry Cutting

Wiper insert + machining at high feed rates

Reduced machining time
Increased production rate
Improved chip control

Wiper insert + machining at conventional feed rates

Eliminating the finishing step
(Combine roughing and finishing into single pass.)

Reducing cost
Increased productivity
Reduced machine down time

Special attention is not necessary when using C-style and W-style inserts

No Restriction for Holder

The standard holder can be used as it is.
(*The double clamp, high rigidity holder is recommended.)

Restriction for Holders

Use a holder with an end cutting angle of 93° to improve wiper efficiency. A holder with a cutting edge angle of 91° can marginally improve wiper efficiency (see the figure below), however, there is no wiper efficiency with other end cutting angles (60°, 90°, 107°etc.).
