PCD APKT 160404 Insert – Product Overview

PCD APKT 160404 Inserts are index able cutting tools designed for high-precision machining of non-ferrous materials. The "APKT" designation refers to the insert's shape and dimensions, while "160404" indicates the insert size and thickness.

Key Features:

  • Material Composition: These inserts are made from Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD), offering exceptional hardness and wear resistance.​
  • Insert Dimensions:
    • Length: 16 mm
    • Width: 4 mm
    • Thickness: 4 mm
  • Coating: Typically, PCD inserts are uncoated due to the inherent hardness of the material.​
  • Applications: Ideal for machining non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and brass, as well as composites and plastics.​
  • Advantages:
    • High wear resistance, leading to longer tool life.
    • Excellent surface finish quality.
    • Stable machining performance at high cutting speeds.
    • Reduced build-up edge formation.​

“Profile tools” typically refer to cutting, broaching or machining tools designed to generate a specific profile or contour (such as gear tooth profiles, spline shapes, custom forms, rack surfaces, internal/external complex shapes). Under Vajra Tools, their core business is broaching and custom tooling: “At Vajra Tools, we design and manufacture Key Way broaching tools, Internal Gears broaching tools, Internal Splines broaching tools, V-Notch broaching tools, Square broaching tools, Surface or rack broaching tools, and other custom tools.” Thus a “Vajra® Profile Tool” would likely be a custom broach or cutter designed to produce a precise profile shape on a work-piece, crafted to the customer’s drawing. In short: it’s a precision tool engineered to machine/finish a custom profile form on a component (internal/external), built with high accuracy manufacturing, capable of large-volume production, and often intended for automotive, gear, transmission or other industrial parts.
