PCD Full Face Inserts
PCD Full Face Inserts are cutting tools in which the entire cutting surface is a continuous layer of polycrystalline diamond. Unlike tipped inserts (which have only a PCD edge), full-face designs offer maximum wear resistance, consistent cutting action, and exceptional surface finishes. They are ideal for high-speed machining of non-ferrous metals, aluminum alloys, copper, magnesium, graphite, ceramics, and composite materials where tool life and precision are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What is the main advantage of a full-face PCD insert?
A: The entire diamond surface provides superior wear resistance and
consistent cutting across the entire insert face.
2.Q: Which materials are best suited?
A: Aluminum, copper, magnesium, carbon composites, ceramics, and
graphite.
3.
Q: Can I machine ferrous metals like
steel?
A: Not recommended—PCD reacts with iron at high temperatures, causing
rapid wear.
4.
Q: What cutting speeds are typical?
A: 800–3,000 SFM (240–900 m/min), depending on the material and setup.
5.
Q: Do I need coolant?
A: PCD performs well dry, but light coolant can improve edge life in
some applications.
6.
Q: Are full-face inserts regrindable?
A: Yes, they can be professionally re-lapped or re-ground to extend
service life.
7.
Q: What shapes are available?
A: Round, square, triangular, and custom geometries to match specific
toolholders.
8.
Q: How do I prevent chipping during
handling?
A: Store inserts in padded cases and avoids contact with other hard
objects.
9.
Q: Which toolholders are compatible?
A: Standard ISO toolholders corresponding to the insert shape and size.
10. Q: What surface finish can I expect?
A: With correct parameters, finishes as fine as Ra 0.1–0.2 µm are
achievable.
