DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

The TCEX16T304 is an premium, high-precision 60° triangular positive carbide insert specifically engineered for high-efficiency chamfering, beveling, and deburring operations. Utilizing a fully ground E-class tolerance matrix (E), this insert offers exceptional edge sharpness and unmatched dimensional consistency. It is the premier choice for indexable chamfer mills, countersinks, and multi-functional CNC milling heads, ensuring smooth bevel surfaces and completely eliminating burrs on a wide variety of materials, including steels, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys.

2. Technical Specifications

• ISO Code: TCEX16T304

• Shape: T-Shape (60° Triangle)

• Relief Angle: C-Type (7° Positive clearance – provides a light, free-cutting action that drastically reduces torque and chatter)

• Tolerance Class: E-Class (Fully perimeter-ground for extreme accuracy and minimal runout)

• Feature Code: X (Specialized rake face geometry optimized for smooth chip evacuation during high-speed beveling)

• Nose Radius: 0.4 mm (R0.4 / 1/64") – Ensures a sharp, clean intersection line at the chamfer edge without leaving secondary burrs.

• Primary Application: 45-degree chamfering, face beveling, countersinking, and edge deburring.

Typical Applications

• CNC Plate Beveling: Machining 45° weld prep chamfers or edge-breaks on large steel plates and mold bases.

• Hole Countersinking & Deburring: High-volume top-edge chamfering of pre-drilled or interpolated holes on engine blocks, manifolds, and hydraulic flanges.

• General Edge Break Machining: Final-stage contour chamfering of precision mechanical parts to remove dangerous handling edges and improve aesthetic quality.

  
  

CNC Inserts - Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I choose the right grade for my specific machining application?

Choosing the correct grade is crucial for tool life and performance. We provide a comprehensive Grade Cross-Reference Chart that maps our CD Carbide grades to major international brands like Sandvik, Mitsubishi, and Kyocera. If you are unsure, simply provide us with the workpiece material (P, M, K, S, H) and machining conditions, and our engineers will recommend the best solution.

2. Can you provide customized CNC tools based on our drawings?

Yes. As a factory-direct manufacturer, we specialize in bespoke engineering. Whether you need non-standard dimensions, specific chipbreakers, or customized coatings for unique alloys, our technical team can develop products based on your technical drawings (PDF/STEP) or physical samples.

3. Do you offer free samples for testing before bulk orders?

We understand that "trial cutting" is the only way to verify tool stability. We offer sample packs for professional buyers to test performance on their own CNC machines. Please contact our sales team with your machine specifications and the material you are processing to request your trial samples.

4. How do you ensure the quality consistency of your carbide inserts?

Our quality control is integrated into every step of the production process in Zhuzhou. We use high-purity tungsten carbide powder and advanced PVD/CVD coating equipment. Each batch undergoes rigorous inspection, including microscopic edge analysis and hardness testing, to ensure that the performance of the 1,000th insert is identical to the 1st.

5. What is the typical lead time for international B2B orders?

For standard models in stock (such as WNMG, CNMG, etc.), we usually ship within 3-5 business days. For customized tools or large-volume OEM orders, the production cycle typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and coating requirements.

6. Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?

We are a direct manufacturing enterprise based in Zhuzhou, the hunan of China’s tungsten carbide industry. By cutting out the middleman, we provide factory-direct pricing and faster technical support. This allows us to offer more flexible MOQs (Minimum Order Quantities) for small-to-medium-sized distributors and specialized machine shops.
