PCD TURNING & BORING INSERTS

PCD Inserts for Aluminum, Copper & Composites

PCD inserts for high-volume turning, boring and grooving of aluminum alloys, copper alloys and abrasive composites. Supply includes inserts matched to ISO designations, chip-breaker versions and custom cutting edges based on the current insert or part requirement.

How to Match Your PCD Insert to the Material and Cut

Send the current insert code or drawing, workpiece material and required machining result.

Replacing an existing insertISO shape, size, thickness, nose radius and edge condition are matched from the current insert or toolholder.
Aluminum and copper cut differentlyPCD grade, rake and edge preparation are selected around adhesion, finish and cutting stability.
Composites need another edgeFor CFRP, graphite and reinforced plastics, PCD grade and edge condition are set around abrasion and part quality.

To Get Started:Share the material, current insert code, toolholder and required machining result.

Advantages of Using PCD Inserts

PCD tools are highly wear-resistant and fairly durable for cutting through the toughest materials. Carbide bases add strength and stability to the structure, and PCD tools are ideal for precision cutting. The fine finish obtained by PCD polishing is often referred to as a “diamond” finish. Because PCD tools are so durable, they retain sharp edges much longer than traditional tools and have an excellent lifespan while maintaining high cutting and polishing accuracy. They can also be used to cut material at high speeds, increasing removal rates and reducing the time required to complete machining tasks.
