2 American Carbide Tool Company GIVES YOU THE EDGE! American Carbide Tool Company (ACT) is a leading manufacturer of single point brazed carbide tipped tools. Over 0 years of toolmaking experience PCD & CBN tipped inserts and tools Special precision-ground and wire-edm flat form tools Made in the USA Known for the uncompromising excellence of our products, we have applied our years of tool manufacturing expertise to our Precision Tool Division. ACT s Precision Tool Division produces the most advanced cutting tools including PCD (polycrystalline diamond) & CBN (cubic boron nitride) tipped inserts and tools, as well as precision-ground cutting tools and flat form tools made from carbide and other materials. The result is precision cutting tools which are unsurpassed in quality. BENEFITS OF PCD AND CBN Potentially hundreds of times the tool life of carbide with PCD. Up to 0 times the tool life of carbide with CBN. High material removal rates decrease operation cycle times, providing more parts per shift. Cutting speeds are two to three times those of conventional tools. Longer tool life results in excellent dimensional control and consistent surface finishes. Together these provide improved workpiece quality and minimize scrap rates. Increased machine tool uptime as a result of longer tool life provides greater production capacity without investment in new equipment. PCD & CBN provide significant productivity and cost savings in manufacturing operations. The full potential and value of super-abrasive tools over conventional tooling can be evaluated by tracking gains in productivity. We have developed our own unique grinding process for PCD & CBN, giving ACT s cutting tools a superior edge. The ACT edge gives you increased tool life and improved finish, while providing you with increased productivity and lower cost. Prove it for yourself with a trial order! American made PCD & CBN tipped tooling from American Carbide Tool Company can outperform the competition.

3 Recommended Superabrasive Applications There are significant differences between PCD and CBN which make the two products suitable for distinct applications. PCD reacts chemically with ferrous materials, so it is usually recommended only for nonferrous and nonmetallic materials. CBN resists chemical reaction with iron and is therefore specified for use with ferrous materials. PCD Applications Abrasive Nonmetallics Carbon Ceramics Fiberglass Composites Graphite Plastics Rubber Nonferrous Metals Aluminum Aluminum Alloys Brass Alloys Bronze Alloys Copper Copper Alloys Lead Alloys Manganese Alloys Metal Matrix Composites Sintered Tungsten Carbide CBN Applications Hardened Steels Gray Cast Iron Hard Cast Iron Powder Metal Materials Hard Facing Alloys Thermal Spray Ni Based Thermal Spray Co Based Superalloys Primary PCD Markets Automotive Pumps/Valves Home Appliances Aircraft/Aerospace Electrical Machinery Computer and Electronic Primary CBN Markets Automotive Aerospace Other Transmission housings and valve bodies; manifolds; cylinder heads; wheels; pistons; oil, water, power steering and fuel pumps; brake cylinders; carburetors; engine blocks; alternator, starter and air conditioning housings Housings; moving parts Housings; compressor pistons Cowling; wing tips; ducts; floor posts; structural components; trim panels Commutator shafts; housings Moving discs; mirrors/lenses Gears; axles; shafts; bearings; engine blocks; valve seats; brake rotors; brake drums; clutch plates; transfer housings Combustion case; shafts; landing gear; bolts; struts; cylinders; turbine disk; turbine blades; turbine; shrouds; engine shafts; turbine vanes Pumps; impellers; shafts; rolls

15 Important Considerations When you need cutting tools, depend on the company that provides you with the very best in quality and service: When Using Superabrasive Cutting Tools: Use a rigid machining system and minimize insert overhang. Clean seat of tool holder prior to use and changing of insert. Tool holder and seat must be in good condition, free of wear. Machining system must be capable of running at the recommended speeds. Do not exceed depth of cut as recommended in the applications guidelines. Do not stop machine in cut as insert breakage may occur. Interrupted cut may require an additional hone. If applicable, please indicate when ordering. Use care in inspecting... only use comparator or microscope.
