CARBIDE CUTTER INSERT

The introduction of carbide cutter insert in metal working, definitely reduced the cost of machining and increased the productivity. The carbide cutters with inserts can produce work pieces exactly similar to the ones which are produced using solid carbide cutters. But a carbide cutter insert is much inexpensive compared to solid cutters. Example compared to a solid carbide end mill, a carbide insert milling cutter is cheaper. In case of carbide cutter insert it is much easy and less time consuming to replace the insert with another carbide cutter insert when the cutting edges are blunt and thus increase in productivity.

Types of Carbide Cutter Insert

Carbide cutter inserts are used in a variety of metal cutting operations. The application of carbide cutter insert in turning tools and milling cutters are the most common ones. Carbide inserts are also used in drilling and in special cutters used in machining centers etc. Since we are discussing about metal cutting operations, I must also mention that carbide inserts are widely used Tool & Die industry especially in sheet metal stamping and other press tools.
