The Vortex PCD turning insert VCGT160408-PCD is designed for plastics and non-ferrous materials, including high-silicon aluminum. Made with Polycrystalline Diamond, it delivers exceptional wear resistance and a superior surface finish, outperforming traditional coated carbide inserts.

This insert is ideal for shops and engineers who demand consistent results, long edge life, and reliable performance on abrasive materials. It helps you maintain tight tolerances and finish quality while reducing tool changes and downtime.

• Exceptional wear resistance for plastics & non-ferrous materials: Specifically engineered to tackle abrasive workpieces such as high-silicon aluminum, extending edge life and reducing tool wear.
• High-quality surface finish for reliable parts: Delivers smooth, uniform finishes with dimensional stability, helping parts meet tight tolerances more consistently.
• Long tool life and reduced downtime: Durable diamond-grade edge supports longer usage between changes, improving productivity on demanding runs.

By pairing outstanding wear resistance with a superior finish and lasting edge life, this PCD insert helps your workflow run smoothly—from first cut to final part. Expect fewer tool changes, consistent performance across batches, and higher-quality surfaces on plastics and non-ferrous components.
