Tungaloy has launched ten new PCD inserts with its three-dimensional NS chipbreaker. The company says the DX110 grade of these inserts improves their edge line, enabling higher-quality surface finishes.

These inserts break up the long continuous chips that can form during machining of gummy, non-ferrous materials such aluminum or copper alloys. Breaking the chips reduces machine downtime due to chip-associated troubles, while also eliminating surface finish-lowering chip scratches on machined surfaces.

The NS chipbreaker is directly engraved on the PCD tip, and caters to cutting depths up to 2.0 mm (0.079 inch). Tungaloy says PCD inserts with this chipbreaker can both rough and finish, allowing users to reduce insert inventory and better integrate machining processes.
