THINBIT, manufactured by Kaiser Tool Co., announces the availability of inserts tipped with CBN (cubic boron nitride) and PCD (polycrystalline diamond). PCD and CBN inserts are available for grooving, turning, face grooving, threading, boring, parting, form tools and custom geometries.

CBN-tipped inserts provide an increased production rate, improved surface finish and dimensional control when used on high-temperature alloys such as inconel, nickel base alloys and materials with a hardness of Rockwell C-35 or harder.

PCD-tipped inserts provide an increased production rate, improved surface finish and dimensional control when used on nonferrous and abrasive metal such as aluminum, bass and copper.

Inserts fit all "L" series toolholders and can be used in conventional, Swiss-style and CNC machines. Toolholders available in square shank sizes 5/16" - 1-1/4" and round shank sizes ½" - 1" with straight and 90o presentations.
