Dapra Introduces PCD Tip Option for Backdraft and XPET Inserts
Extends Tool Life 100x Compared to TiAlN Inserts
Dapra Corporation has just announced the availability of optional PCD tips for both their Backdraft (back draft) inserts and XPET inserts. These diamond-tipped inserts afford unsurpassed tool life for most aluminum and graphite milling applications. Their expected life is approximately 100 times that of normal TiAlN-coated inserts, providing the capability for high speeds and outstanding surface finishes.
Dapra's PCD-Tipped Backdraft inserts, for mold and die applications, are available in 1/2" and 3/4" diameters, with both 1/32" and 1/16" corner radii and a usable leg length of approximately 1/8".
Designed to be used with 90-degree Square Shoulder Mills, the XPET inserts are 16mm in length, with a 1/32" corner radius. The XPET inserts also offer a 1/8" usable leg length.
