O.D. and I.D. Turning

Outside Diameter (OD) and Inside Diameter (ID) turning tools are engineered to drive efficiency and productivity in your metal-cutting operations. In OD turning, the outer surface of a workpiece is machined while in ID turning, the inner diameter of a workpiece is machined. WIDIA High-performance indexable inserts and toolholders are essential components offering advanced geometries, coatings, and materials to provide optimal chip control, surface finish quality, and tool life. WIDIA’s General indexable inserts offer flexibility and cost-efficiency. Additionally, boring bars are available to enlarge existing holes or create internal features with high precision and accuracy. OD and ID turning operations are essential for creating shafts, bushings, cylinders, and other cylindrical components with tight tolerances and superior surface finishes. With the right combination of high-performance inserts, tool holders, boring bars, and specialty turning tools, you can achieve exceptional results for your machining applications.
