Case study

Spool
Material : A6063
Cutting speed : 660 SFM
Feed : .002 IPR
Operation type : Continuous pass
Coolant : WET
PD1	10,000 pcs / corner
Competitor's brazed carbide insert	1,000 pcs / corner

PD1 shortened cycle time on this single pass operation and performed well with no issue of BUE resulting in a good surface finish.

Spool
Material : A6061
Cutting speed : 570 SFM
Feed : .002 IPR
DOC : .006 inch
Coolant : WET
PD2	10,000 pcs / corner
Competitor’s PVD	5,000 pcs / corner

PD2 doubled the productivity with its superior wear resistance compared to the competitor's PCD.
