By Material:
Carbide Inserts: The most common type, often coated with TiN, TiAlN, TiCN, or AlTiN coatings for wear resistance and heat resistance.
Ceramic Inserts: For high-speed machining of cast iron and superalloys.
CBN Inserts (Cubic Boron Nitride): For machining hard ferrous materials above HRC 45, like hardened steel.
Diamond Inserts (PCD inserts): For highly abrasive non-ferrous materials and composites.
By Application:
Turning Inserts: For external turning, internal turning, facing, grooving, and threading.
Milling Inserts: For face milling, shoulder milling, end milling, and chamfering.
Parting and Grooving Inserts: For cutting off and machining grooves.
Cost-Effective: Only the insert is replaced, not the entire tool holder.
High Productivity: Quick indexation to a fresh cutting edge minimizes machine downtime.
Versatility: A wide range of insert grades, geometries, shapes (triangle, square, round), and sizes for every material and operation.
Improved Performance: Engineered chipbreaker geometry ensures optimal chip control and surface finish.
