Inserts are replaceable cutting tools used in machining operations such as turning, milling, drilling, and grooving. Made from high-performance materials like carbide, ceramic, and CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride), inserts provide extended tool life, precision cutting, and high-speed machining capabilities.

Types of Inserts

• Turning Inserts – Used in CNC lathes and manual turning operations
• Milling Inserts – Designed for face milling, end milling, and slot milling
• Drilling Inserts – Replaceable tips for high-performance drilling
• Grooving Inserts – Used for precision grooving and parting-off applications
• Threading Inserts – Specialized inserts for internal and external thread cutting

Materials

• Carbide Inserts – High wear resistance for general and heavy-duty machining
• Ceramic Inserts – Heat-resistant for high-speed machining in hardened materials
• CBN Inserts – Ideal for machining hardened steel and cast iron
• PCD Inserts – Used for non-ferrous metals and composite materials

Coatings

• TiN (Titanium Nitride) – Improves wear resistance and reduces friction
• TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) – Provides extra hardness for tough materials
• TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) – Excellent heat resistance for high-speed machining
• Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide) – Suitable for cutting at extremely high temperatures

Applications

• Automotive, aerospace, and general machining industries
• High-precision metal cutting in CNC and conventional machines
• Used in lathe machines, milling machines, and drilling tools

Inserts provide cost-effective and efficient machining solutions by offering longer tool life, reduced downtime, and superior cutting performance.
