Industry-standard ANSI and ISO tolerance protocols are followed.
As per ANSI and ISO conventions, insert size and tolerance are established
before any coatings are applied.
For DIAbide inserts, the thickness of the diamond
coating will vary as a function of the MAC number. The lowest MAC numbers, such
as MAC 10, have films approximately 10 microns thick (0.0004 inch) on a side
and the highest MAC number, MAC 20, can have coatings up to 50 microns (0.002
inch) on a side. Coating thickness is held to ±20% within an insert and
from insert to insert. Call sp3 for exact film thickness information if
this extra material poses a problem for your machining operations. |
