Polycrystalline diamond inserts and cutting toolsare rapidly replacing Carbide cutting tools in many non-ferrous machining applications. When properly applied, polycrystalline diamond cutting tools are extremely cost effective. As with any cutting tool material, care must be taken to insure that the correct polycrystalline diamond material is selected, and machining conditions are within recommended guidelines.

• • PCD tools provide improved cycle times and more parts per shift by enabling high material removal rates

• • PCD cutting tools allows faster speeds and feeds compared to any other conventional cutting tool material

• • PCD reduces scrap and improves workpiece quality with tight dimensional control and excellent surface finishes

• PCD optimizes machine tool efficiency by increasing production capacity reducing the need for new equipment
