Features

Ultra-fine grained PCD-tipped inserts

DX110

Definitive insert series for high speed machining of aluminum alloys

  • Ultra-fine grained PCD grade for edge sharpness
  • An extremely wear-resistant grade, featuring strongly-bonded diamond grains that prevents the grains from breaking off during machining
  • Thanks to ultra-fine diamond grains, DX110 provides superior surface finish
  • Chipbreaker series with rake angle of 10°
