BIG KAISER Precision Tooling is adding more than 30 pressed-geometry carbide inserts for its tools. The new insert design is the result of extensive research and testing.

The new grades and geometries offer:

  • Improved chip control due to optimized chip breakers, even when boring gummy materials like low-carbon or stainless steel
  • Improved coatings for increased speed and better wear resistance
  • More positive cutting geometries to reduce cutting forces, chatter and vibration when used in deep-hole boring operations
  • Longer tool life
  • Up to 20% savings when compared to current grades

BIG KAISER offers a range of insert grades and geometries for rough and finish boring, grooving and precision cutting, including indexable inserts.
