V: 35° Pointed Rhombic (Diamond) basic shape, optimized for intricate profiling, undercutting, and narrow profiling clearance.
B: 5° Positive side clearance angle to minimize tool rubbing and mechanical load.
G: High-precision ground periphery tolerance class, holding incredibly strict dimensional tolerances on finished parts.
T: Countersunk clamping hole configuration with a single-sided positive rake face.
16: Nominal cutting edge length of exactly 16.6 mm.
04: Standard industry body thickness of 4.76 mm.
08: Corner nose radius of 0.8 mm, offering a robust cutting edge capable of handling clean feed rates while outputting an excellent surface finish.
🎯 Primary Material Applications
Because PCD chemically dissolves when it contacts iron at high cutting temperatures, this insert is used strictly on non-ferrous alloys:
High-Silicon Aluminium: Used heavily in automotive wheel machining and piston turning where silicon granules destroy regular carbide.
Abrasive Composites & Synthetics: Turning Carbon Fiber (CFRP), fiberglass, graphite blocks, and dense engineering polymers like PEEK.
Precious Non-Ferrous Metals: Frictionless mirror-skimming of copper, brass, bronze, and magnesium alloys without edge build-up.
