PCD standard inserts VC (7° clearance angle) type35°
Product Details • Product Name: PCD Standard Insert – VC Type • Geometry / Shape: Diamond (35° included angle, “VC” ISO style) • Clearance (Relief) Angle: 7° • Cutting Edge: Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tipped • Common Sizes: VC..0702, VC..1103, VC..1504 (custom options available) • Edge Prep: Sharp or lightly honed depending on application • Holder Compatibility: Fits all standard ISO VC-type tool holders • Typical Grade Options: PCD 1300/1500 or equivalent Description The PCD Standard Insert VC Type is a 35° diamond-shaped insert designed for precision turning, profiling, and fine finishing of non-ferrous and abrasive materials. Its 7° clearance angle provides excellent balance between edge strength and chip evacuation, while the PCD-tipped cutting edge delivers exceptional hardness and wear resistance. Ideal for applications in automotive, aerospace, electronics, and composites, VC inserts excel in high-speed machining where tight tolerances and mirror-like finishes are critical.

Highly recommended for teams looking for precision, efficiency, and customization all in one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What materials are best suited
for VC-type PCD inserts?
A: Non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, magnesium), carbon-fiber
composites, plastics with high silicon content, and graphite.
Q2. Can they machine hardened steel?
A: No. PCD is not recommended for ferrous metals because diamond reacts with
iron at high temperature. For hardened steels, use PCBN inserts.
Q3. What are the recommended cutting
speeds?
A: Generally 800–3,000 m/min for aluminum; adjust to your machine rigidity and
workpiece material.
Q4. Do I need to use coolant?
A: PCD inserts can run dry. An air blast or light mist can help remove chips
and control temperature.
Q5. How long do they last compared
to carbide?
A: Typically 5–10 times longer, depending on operating conditions and work
material.
Q6. Are these inserts re-sharpenable?
A: Yes. Specialized service providers can regrind or re-tip PCD cutting edges.
Q7. What feed rates are typical?
A: For finishing, 0.05–0.25 mm/rev; higher feeds possible for softer
non-ferrous alloys.
Q8. Do they require special tool
holders?
A: No, they fit all standard ISO VC-type holders.
Q9. How should I store PCD inserts?
A: Keep in a dry environment inside protective cases to avoid chipping or
impact damage.
Q10. Can these inserts handle
abrasive composites like CFRP or GFRP?
A: Yes, PCD excels in carbon- and glass-fiber composites, minimizing
delamination and tool wear.
