Traditional rough machining inserts cannot achieve good machining surface quality, while the use of precision machining inserts results in rapid tool wear due to excessively sharp rake angles, limiting feed rates and reducing machining efficiency. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a method of cutting cast iron with coarse and wiper insert mixed cutting tools, aiming to improve the surface quality of machining and enhance machining efficiency. By studying the mecha-nism and cutting experiments of the wiper inserts, it was found that it improved the surface quality of cast iron and analyzed the reasons for tool wear. By controlling the integrity of the precision ma-chined surface of cast iron, the aim is to establish the basic theory and key technologies for the pre-cise and efficient manufacturing of high hardness materials. Improve the surface quality of cast iron processing, extend tool life, and improve processing efficiency.
