High Positive Rake Angle
- Indexable insert.
- Suitable for engraving all types of materials, such as plastic, non-ferrous metal, aluminum, copper, carbon steel and stainless steel.
Multi-Side Grinding
- Full peripherally ground insert to ensure efficient repeatability.
- It performs excellently without producing any burrs, especially in copper, aluminum and stainless steel.
High Speed, High Feed Rate
- Designed to run at high speed, up to 40,000 r.p.m.
- Feed rate 0.08mm (0.003”) / rev. apply to aluminum; 0.05mm (0.002”) / rev. apply to stainless steel.
- Reduces engraving cycle time!
Economical
- Each indexable insert has 2 cutting edges.
- No resharpening required. Tool length is unchanged.
- No need to reset after changing insert or cutting edge.
- Excellent repeatability!
Applications
- Serial numbers, product codes, dial scales, signs, logo, graph and almost any character which can be created by the NC programming system.
- Widely be used for marking on machine components, medical components, gun components, mold and die, automotive parts, gears, bearings and luxury goods.

Engraving Applications Tips
Use the V045 and V060 style engravers in materials that tend to push burrs such as stainless steels and high temp alloys. These inserts have a 0.2mm(0.008”) radius with a very sharp cutting edge and cut very freely. Character widths start around 0.45mm(0.017”). This tool best replaces ball nose endmills. This tool is considered to be first choice for all but fine engraving width below 0.25mm.
