Sumitomo 16CDBBL Pcd Turning Insert DA2200

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 16CDBBL is a Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) turning insert designed for precision machining of non-ferrous materials. Manufactured to the DA2200 grade, this uncoated insert features a diamond-shaped geometry with a 35-degree included angle and a positive rake configuration. The 0.25-inch inscribed circle and 0.0156-inch corner radius support finishing and semi-finishing operations where tight tolerances and surface quality are critical. Screw-held mounting ensures secure seating in compatible toolholders. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous workpieces use this insert in CNC turning centers and manual lathes.

This insert is suited for high-speed turning of non-ferrous metals where carbide tooling falls short in edge life or surface finish. The PCD construction delivers extended tool life compared to conventional grades when cutting abrasive non-ferrous alloys. It fits Series V toolholders accepting the NF-VCMX insert style and conforms to both ANSI code NFVCMX221 and ISO code NF-VCMT110304, making it interchangeable within standard toolholder systems that reference either designation.

Key Features

• 35-degree included angle diamond insert shape (Insert Shape Code: V)
• Positive rake geometry for reduced cutting forces on soft, gummy materials
• Screw-held retention method for repeatable positioning and easy indexing
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO 13399 standards for broad toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in Series V toolholders accepting NF-VCMX insert style inserts. Conforms to ANSI code NFVCMX221 and ISO code NF-VCMT110304. Intended for primary workpiece material code N (Non-Ferrous Metal).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key for the clamping screw and follow the toolholder manufacturer's recommended seating procedure. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for chips or debris before installing the new insert to ensure proper contact and runout control.
