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 in applications for PCD vs. CBN. While PCD is engineered for use on nonferrous material, CBN is designed for machining high temperature alloys and hardened ferrous materials. Failure to have the correct tool for the application will result in tool failure. Choosing the PCD grade is straight forward in soft/abrasive applications however, hard turning requires multiple application specific grades of CBN. CBN works best with a specifically designed tool for your application. The optimally designed CBN tool for each material will allow for longer tool life and quality of finish. Whether choosing a PCD or CBN insert, let the experts at ACT design the perfect tool for your application.
