SWISS TURNING INSERTS RESIST
WEAR IN TITANIUM APPLICATIONS
SUMITOMO, BOOTH 1026
The MESI Chipbreaker from Sumitomo Electric
Carbide Inc. is designed for Swiss turning and
small parts machining, particularly in medical and
other high-precision applications. Providing a low
cutting force, it features a 15-degree nose and a
sharp 8-degree main edge. Studies have shown

applications using titanium, according to the
company. A wavy cutting edge maintains better
chip control (for bar feeder machines), while the
