Tool-flo 9BCD505O3R Boring Insert Solid Carbide Tin GP22R

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 9BCD505O3R is a solid carbide boring insert designed for precision internal turning and boring operations on CNC and manual lathes. It features a diamond insert shape (CDCD style, size code 505) with a TiN coating applied via PVD process, delivering improved wear resistance and surface finish on a range of workpiece materials. The insert measures 0.156 inches in length and width, 0.04 inches thick, with a 0.007-inch corner radius and a 15-degree relief angle. It is screw-held and belongs to the Bantam series. Licensed machinists and tooling specialists install this insert in compatible boring bars and toolholders.

This insert is suited for machining non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, alloy steels, and superalloys as primary workpiece materials, with cast iron listed as a secondary application. The micrograin carbide substrate and GP22R manufacturer grade make it appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing passes where edge sharpness and dimensional accuracy are critical. Typical use is in production environments requiring consistent bore geometry and tight tolerances.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide substrate in GP22R manufacturer grade for edge stability
• TiN coating via PVD process for improved wear life and reduced built-up edge
• Diamond insert shape (CDCD style) with 15-degree relief angle for clearance in tight bores
• 0.007-inch corner radius for finishing and semi-finishing passes
• Screw-held clamping method for positive, repeatable seating in the toolholder
• Bantam series insert sized at 0.156 x 0.156 x 0.04 inches for compact boring applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for CDCD-505 toolholders and boring bar systems that accept screw-held diamond-style inserts of this size class. Compatible boring bar systems should be verified against the CDCD-505 insert style and size code 505 specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the clamping screw - do not overtighten, as micrograin carbide inserts are brittle and susceptible to fracture from excessive clamping force. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before fitting a new insert. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines during any tooling changeout.
