Milling Inserts – Overview
????
What is a PCD Milling Insert?
A PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond)
milling insert is a cutting insert tipped with synthetic diamond. It is
used in milling applications requiring high wear resistance, excellent surface
finish, and long tool life, especially for non-ferrous and abrasive
materials.
These inserts are typically used
with:
- Face milling cutters
- End mills
- Slot mills
- Copy milling tools

PCD Milling Inserts – FAQ (Top 10 Questions)
1.
What materials can PCD milling inserts cut?
Primarily non-ferrous materials: aluminum,
copper, brass, magnesium, plastics, and composites
like CFRP/GFRP.
2.
Can PCD milling inserts cut steel?
No. PCD is not suitable for
steel or ferrous alloys due to chemical reactions between iron and diamond at
high temperatures.
3.
How long do PCD milling inserts last?
They can last 10–100 times longer
than carbide inserts, depending on the material, cutting speed, and
application.
4.
Are PCD inserts regrindable?
Yes, but regrinding requires specialized
diamond grinding equipment and is typically done by the manufacturer or
specialized services.
5.
How fast can I run PCD milling inserts?
They support very high cutting
speeds, often between 500 to 3,000 meters/min, especially for
aluminum and composites.
6.
Are they cost-effective despite the higher price?
Yes. Though PCD inserts cost more
upfront, their long life and high productivity often result in lower
total cost per part.
7.
Do PCD inserts need coolant?
Usually not necessary,
especially in dry machining of aluminum or composites. However, minimal
lubrication (MQL) may be used for some materials.
8.
What tool bodies are compatible with PCD inserts?
PCD inserts fit standard
indexable milling cutter bodies, but be sure to match insert geometry,
clamping system, and chip breaker needs.
9.
Can I use PCD inserts on CNC and manual machines?
Yes, though PCD milling inserts
perform best on rigid CNC machines with minimal vibration and precise feed
control.
10.
What are the most common shapes and codes for PCD milling inserts?
Common shapes include:
- SNEW
(Square)
- RNGN
(Round)
- TPGN
(Triangle)
- Codes may include size (e.g., 09T3), relief angle, and
grade (e.g., DA2200 for high-speed cutting)
