PCD Turning Inserts
Product Description
We tip carbide inserts with Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) or Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN).
PCD and CBN tipped tools have excellent hardness and abrasion resistance
We offer the widest range of custom tooling manufacturing, from standard inserts to custom form tools
All of our tools are made to the highest degree of precision, tolerance, and quality
Our inserts can be repaired by either Relapping, Rebuilding, and Retipping
