Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What
materials are best suited?
A: Aluminum alloys, copper, brass, magnesium alloys, carbon-fiber composites, and graphite. - Q: Can
I machine steel with this insert?
A: Not recommended—PCD reacts with iron at high temperatures, causing rapid wear. - Q: Why
choose a 0° clearance angle?
A: It offers maximum edge strength and rigidity for heavy cuts and stable performance. - Q: How
many cutting edges are usable?
A: Six—rotate the insert to extend tool life. - Q: What
cutting speed is ideal?
A: Generally 800–2,500 SFM (240–760 m/min), depending on material and setup. - Q: Is
coolant required?
A: Optional. PCD performs well dry but light coolant can extend tool life. - Q: Can
these inserts be re-sharpened?
A: Yes, professional regrinding or re-tipping services can restore cutting edges. - Q:
Which toolholders fit?
A: Standard ISO toolholders designed for WN inserts with negative rake. - Q: What
feed rates work best?
A: 0.05–0.3 mm/rev depending on machine stability and desired finish.
Q: How should I store unused inserts?
A: Keep them in their original padded cases to prevent chipping or
contamination.
