66 www.CNC-West.com CNC WEST February/March 2018 Diamond Standard CBN and Tipped In- serts —THINBIT® THINBIT®, manufactured by Kaiser Tool Company, an- nounces inserts tipped with CBN (cubic boron nitride) and PCD (polycrystalline diamond). PCD and CBN inserts are available for grooving, turning, face grooving, threading, bor- ing, parting, form tools and custom geometries. CBN Tipped Inserts provide an increased production rate, improved surface finish and dimensional control when used on high-temperature alloys such as inconel, nickel base al- loys and materials with a hardness of Rockwell C-35 or harder. PCD Tipped inserts provide an increased pro- duction rate, im- proved surface finish and dimen- s i ona l con t r o l when used on non-ferrous and abrasive metal such as alumi- num, bass and copper. Inserts fit all “L” series toolholders and can be used in conventional, Swiss & CNC machines. Toolholders available in square shank sizes 5/16” - 1-1/4” & round shank sizes ½” - 1” with straight & 90 degree presentations. Changeable-Head Drill Available in Frac- ture-Resistant Grade —Tungaloy Tungaloy is expanding its insert line for TungSix-Drill, the changeable-head drill, to include grade AH3135. The grade is highly fracture-resistant, consisting of a tough carbide substrate and multiple layers of coatings designed to withstand high vibrations due to unfavorable cutting conditions. These features combine to enable longer tool life according to the company. Tungaloy reports the tool is the world’s first indexable insert drill that incorporates double-sided, triangular inserts with six effective cutting edges. Rather than generating unwanted, heavy cutting load during drilling, this insert is designed with an optimized rake angle and chipbreakers on both sides of the insert. It comes with drill diameters ranging from 0.812” to 2.000”. The double-sided inserts contain six fully usable cutting edges, and identical inserts are used for both the center and the periph- ery. Optimal insert positioning provides high hole-diameter accuracy, and the geometry improves the cutting center edge.
