512 forum posts 77 photos | Yes, even hardened steel can be turned. These are commercial cylindrical dowels, 12 mm diameter. They are hardened trrough (not only case hardened). Turning with Sumitomo cermet insert (with diamond honed edge). 600 RPM, d.o.c 0.25 mm, feed around 0.1 mm. I wish every material I use would give that mirror-like surface!

I have tried turning hard stuff with TiN coated carbide inserts, but the result doesn't look as nice as yours.. How is the cermet inserts compared with ordinary coated carbide, and how much more do you have to pay? Regards Thor Edited By Thor on 23/02/2013 06:09:59 |
