KENNAMETAL introduced the Grooving Universal Positive Profiling geometry (GUP-V), expanding its Beyond Evolution grooving and cut-off series of insert tools. With the addition of the new V- shaped single-sided insert, Beyond Evolution covers more applications than ever and helps to save tooling cost.

“Since the introduction of the Beyond Evolution platform, we have continued to focus on enhancing its versatility, and the new GUP-V multidirectional profiling insert is no exception,” stated Robert Keilmann, product manager. “Together with the other insert geometries, users can now groove, cutoff, face, and turn a wide variety of materials with just a single tooling system.

“Simply put, when a customer adopts Beyond Evolution for their turning needs, they do not need anything else. It is that versatile,” he added.
