Product Description

Tungsten carbide inserts are precision-manufactured cutting tips used in indexable tooling systems for high-speed, high-accuracy machining. Built from cemented carbide materials with cobalt or nickel binders, these inserts offer unmatched hardness and thermal resistance compared to traditional HSS tools. Retop provides a wide range of carbide inserts with various chipbreaker designs, coating options, and geometries tailored for specific machining needs.

Carbide inserts are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, mold and die manufacturing, general metalworking, and woodworking. Whether it’s CNC turning, face milling, boring, or slotting, these inserts deliver reliable performance in machining steel, cast iron, aluminum, titanium, and composite materials under dry or wet cutting conditions.

Features

🔧 Exceptional Wear Resistance — Extended tool life under high-speed or abrasive machining conditions.
⚙️ High Dimensional Accuracy — Precision-ground inserts maintain tight tolerances for critical components.
🧊 Thermal Stability — Withstands cutting temperatures up to 1000°C without losing hardness.
🔄 Replaceable and Indexable — Multi-edge designs allow quick indexing and reduced tooling costs.
🧪 Advanced Coating Technologies — Options like TiN, TiAlN, AlCrN improve oxidation resistance and reduce built-up edge.
🌐 Available in Standard & Custom Types — ISO inserts (e.g., CNMG, SNMG, TNMG) plus custom geometries available.
