What is an ISO insert?
ISO INDEXABLE INSERTS. Tools with replaceable ISO elements made from PCD and PCBN are used for drilling, reaming, milling and turning because the high-precision production of their insert seat and their extraordinary level of sharpness, hardness and wear resistance ensure maximum surface quality.
How do you read an insert code?
A two-digit number designates the sizes of these inserts. The first digit indicates the number of eighths of an inch in the width and the second digit indicates the number of fourths of an inch in the length of the insert.
What is the insert grade?
An insert’s material, or grade, is designed to suit a particular machining application, and even though two inserts may look the same, the base material and the coating (if there’s one) can be very different.
How do you identify milling inserts?
- First station indicates shape of insert.
- Second station shows relief angle or rake angle of the insert.
- The third station provides a working gage for repeatability.
- Fourth station indicates geometry and clamping insert type.
- Fifth station indicates I.C.
- Sixth station designates insert thickness.
What is a CBN insert?
Cubic Boron Nitride Inserts CBN is an artificially synthesized material exceeded in hardness only by diamond, while still offering superior wear resistance to Carbide in certain applications. North American Carbide offers over 20 grades of CBN, allowing us to find the perfect choice based on your application.
What is a PCD insert?
Polycrystaline Diamond Inserts PCD is the hardest man made material, which is known for its superb hardness and high wear resistance. North American Carbide offers more than 10 grades of PCD allowing us to find the right tool for your application. Inserts are induction brazed utilizing a controlled heating process.
What is a Dcmt insert?
DCMT-21.51 carbide insert is a 55° diamond with a 7° relief. The center hole is a 40°-60° single countersink, and a single-sided chip breaker. It has an inscribed circle (IC) of 0.25″ (1/4″), a thickness of 0.094″ (3/32″), and a corner (nose) radius of 0.0156″ (1/64″).

What is CBN tooling?
Cubic boron nitride (CBN) is a high-performance tool material from a polycrystalline mass, that similar to PCD is produced in a high temperature-pressure process. CBN, its hardness only surpassed by a diamond, is suitable for the machining of materials that cannot be machined with PCD or monocrystalline diamond.
What is PCD and CBN?
What is the difference between PCD and CVD?
PCD is a composite diamond, 90-95% diamond powder + cobalt binder, therefore lower hardness than CVD. Around 6000 Vickers hardness. CVD is 99% pure diamond, therefore hardness is the highest. Around 8500 Vickers hardness.
What is CBN and PCD?
What is the difference between CBN and PCBN?
PCBN is made of polycrystalline cbn that is produced in a high temperature-pressure procedure, Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) Inserts are high-performance tools used for cutting hard materials. Usually, they are very hard, hence suitable for machining materials that can’t be machined by mono-crystalline diamond.
What is PVD and CVD?
PVD, or physical vapor deposition, is a line-of-sight coating process which allows for thin coatings and sharp edges. CVD, on the other hand, stands for chemical vapor deposition and is thicker to protect against heat. PVD is typically applied to finishing tools, whereas CVD proves best for roughing.
