STERLING Edge SESWEEP 500 0.031 PCD Back Draft Insert

Features And Benefits

The Sterling Edge Sweep Insert blends the clearance of a backdraft with the straight wall cleanup of a 90deg flat bottom. The smaller flat on the side wall and the bottom of the insert allows a larger step down or ramp rate and provides superior finishes on straight walls and pockets. Combined with a carbide or heavy metal shank holder this insert is highly cost effective for deep pocket finishing on both pre-hard and hardened applications, eliminating the need to EDM hardened pockets or the frustration of trying to get desired results with expensive long fluted end mills that chatter and deflect.

Cutting Edge Definition

PCD stands for “Poly Crystalline Diamond”, the hardest available cutting material. PCD is a synthetic diamond produced by sintering together selected diamond particles with a metal matrix at high temperature and high pressure. The result is 90-95% diamond content material that reaches a hardness close to 6000 HV. In addition, the small amount of the binder gives the material additional toughness that makes it an efficient cutting material.
