PCD + CBN Inserts and Tooling

We are proud to announce that GTS are the first in the UK to use a brand-new process design to be able to supply CBN and PCD inserts at a huge cost reduction within the current market place of any existing CBN inserts you currently buy.

GTS have been focusing on revolutionary technological innovation on CBN micro-nano materials, composites and cutting tool application, and advanced controlling and manufacturing process, GTS are able to develop and manufacture the most consistent high-quality CBN solid inserts with high impact resistance, more economical double-layer inserts, super finishing single-layer inserts and inserts with cutting-edge coating techniques. It fully meets the requirements of wear resistance, impact resistance, thermal stability and chemical stability of metal machining for our customers.

In the mechanical machining application of the traditional system, not only it has greatly reduced the comprehensive production cost, but also significantly improved the production capacity and efficiency during the whole production operation, and the equipment investment is greatly decreased at the same time.

This is available at drastically reduced prices due to a brand new Globally Patented product process which enables us to beat any currently purchased CBN insert by 30 % Minimum cost reduction on your current CBN solid or insert style purchases.

GTS offers multiple choices for machining with advanced cutting materials, allowing you to take advantage of these cutters’ benefits, such as higher cutting speeds. When applied correctly to appropriate applications, CBN and PCD provide unbeatable boosts for machining productivity.

PCD offers a huge range of advantages compared to solid carbide and carbide tipped cutters with the main opposition being the cost. On the surface it can seem a PCD tool is expensive, but with all things considered and given the correct application, it’s often incredibly more cost effective.

Depending on the material cut, PCD has been shown to outperform carbide tool life at a ratio of 300:1. This is a unique but real example, in reality you should regularly expect a conservative estimate of around 25 times tool life when compared to carbide. PCD doesn’t just last much longer than carbide, it also maintains a high quality, accurate finish even when working with such tough and abrasive materials.

PCD tooling has the benefit of lasting longer than carbide, which not only cuts overall tooling costs and average cost per part, but saves down time changing tools, checking for wear, resetting and re-measuring too. This alone can create a faster, more streamlined process, saving time and money.

All PCD+CBN inserts can be tangential and could have up to 8 cutting edges – on top of that we provide a regrind and refurbishing service to damaged inserts and tools. If it is too badly damaged we could even buy your scrap tooling to recycle.

Often we work with customers to provide a service with our inserts to regrind/refurbish any inserts and tool holders that get damaged during machining operations and we can even buy your scrap carbide tooling.
