PrimeTurning™ isn’t just a tool—it’s a complete turning solution. As the industry’s first all-directional turning method, PrimeTurning™ delivers greater machining flexibility and significantly improved productivity over conventional techniques. This innovative concept combines a new turning approach, specialized CoroTurn® Prime tools, and a dedicated code generator to maximize performance and efficiency.

Your Turning Partner from Start to Finish: The Steiner Metalworking team is here to help you specify the right turning holders and insert combinations for your application. From initial planning through implementation and ongoing support, we’ll work with you to improve efficiency, boost throughput, and reduce production costs.

Internal Turning with PrimeTurning™

The CoroTurn® Prime SL head enables internal turning with PrimeTurning™ methodology, allowing inside-out machining for improved chip evacuation and chip control in demanding internal applications.

Second-Generation B-Type Inserts

The new CoroTurn® Prime B-type inserts are double-sided with four cutting edges for improved cost-efficiency. A robust tip seat design and optimized geometries make them ideal for machining tough materials.

Y-Axis Turning

Y-axis turning uses simultaneous 3-axis motion where the tool rotates around its center, enabling complex features to be machined with a single tool—boosting efficiency and reducing setup time.
