CITCO PCD Tooling
Consistent, repeatable performance.
Engineered with the latest manufacturing techniques, CITCO PCD inserts are a multi-application, high-performance solution. A fused combination of synthetic diamond particles and tungsten carbide substrate, Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) is the ultimate cutting tool material.
PCD has a uniform hardness, toughness and shock resistance. These qualities enable exceptionally high cutting speeds on non-metallic materials and non-ferrous metals. This makes it ideal for precision turning applications, where you need high quality, high productivity and guaranteed repeatability.
— Fixed brazed or indexable inserts
— Custom-engineered cutting edge parameters
— Unique tool designs
— Ideal for nonmetallic materials and nonferrous metals
CITCO PcBN tooling
Excellent performance in hard turning & high-speed cutting applications.
Our CITCO turning tools are crafted from the highest quality PcBN materials available. In addition to their high resistance to impact and abrasion, PcBN cutting tools have excellent heat dissipation and wear resistance.
Ideal for iron based materials:
hard steel | powdered metal | cast iron
To ensure that each tool delivers optimum performance, PcBN grades are individually matched with advanced coating technologies. The combination of PcBN grade, coating, and manufacturing technique ideally balances chemical resistance and toughness, increasing part versatility.
CITCO PcBN tools are custom-engineered, providing maximum efficiency, reliability and accuracy required by key industries.
