DCM inserts are used for cutting materials like metal. This is the most important tool within a process we call lathe machining, when we shape that metal into all kinds of useful forms. This doc is meant to support you if you are using Nigel's DCMT inserts. We’ll discuss why they’re useful, how to select the right one for your work, and how to care for one so it lasts a long time.
NIGEL ccmt 09t304 insert is very strong and known for durability. This feature makes it ideal for tougher cuts, where you might need to slice through harder materials. These inserts allow you to make cuts that are clean, precise and consistent. With these inserts, you can accomplish finishing tasks more quickly. That means you can finish your work more quickly without sacrificing the quality of your cuts. These are power tools that can help any project you work on be more efficient and productive.
Choosing the incorrect DCMT insert is highly likely to result in your cuts not being accurate. Just some things to consider when selecting an insert. To start, think about what type of material you are cutting. Every insert for material is irrelevant to any other material. Then, consider the speed of the lathe. The speed can impact the effectiveness of the insert. Finally, you have to choose what type of cut you need to perform. Nigel's DCMT inserts are available in numerous sizes and styles. Here’s how to pick the right one for your job:
Choose the Right Shape: NIGEL cnmg120408 inserts are available in different shapes: square, round and triangular. Every shape has been developed for precise cuts. For instance, some cuts may work better with a square shape compared to a round shape. Different shapes will yield different results so make sure to choose the best shape for your project.
Choose the Proper Grade This reliant on the grade of the material of the insert. Certain grades are meant for cutting through hard metals, while others work better with softer materials. For optimal cutting performance it is a good idea to select a grade suited to the material you are cutting.
The latest technology in today’s lathes makes insert replacement easier than ever before. We use this modern technology to exchange the inserts without changing the entire tool holder. As an example, Nigel also designed an ultra-fast insert-swap system, the "screw-lock." The NIGEL milling inserts holds the insert in place tightly, which is crucial. It also helps in dampening vibration when cutting. Less vibration equals smoother, more even cuts and a better finish on your material.
Do Not Store Layers: When not in use, store inserts standing up in a controlled (temperature and moisture) environment. Proper storage prevents rust from developing and keeps your inserts in decent condition. If they bump into one another, they can chip so these need to be separated.
