We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Carbide Inserts",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Carbide cutting tool inserts prices cut at MACH from
LMT Fette, which we summarised at the time by saying "During the UK's MACH 2008 show, visitors to the LMT Fette stand can buy 30 inserts in one grade and in one chip breaker geometry for just GBP 75.00 - a saving of up to GBP 130".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Aluminium alloys milled at high removal rates from
Mitsubishi Carbide: "Multi-functional cutters offer metal removal rates in aluminium alloys of up to 10,000 litre/min owing to rigid tool body, ultra secure insert clamping and the geometry of carbide inserts".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Horn Cutting Tools
concerning its Type M139 thin milling cutter
- take a look at Disc-type milling cutter is 'wafer-thin'
which says: "A high performance wafer-thin disc-type milling cutter has an overall diameter of 100mm and can generate grooves as narrow as 1.4mm wide to a depth of 25mm".
Take a look also at the news release from Crown Lift Trucks, Radio frequency identification for stock control,
as well as Insert cutters rapidly chamfer small bores from NCMT,
and Hydrostatic grinder uses linear motor drives from 600 Centre.
