I don't know if they are supirior how about you make a video and tell me

[metalflameful]

Apparently not, it was nearly cutting that air

[zakcritch]

I love the part where they didnt show it

[wjb]

If it’s aluminum and high production, yes!

Diamond Dallas Page invented the diamond cutter.

[youssefalhiane]

What is the equipement that made that beep. And how the insert are fixed ?

[Jjones_]

We use pcd cutters for torlon and other hard/filled plastics. The cutting edge of a regular end mill doesn't stay sharp enough, regardless of coating

Iscar PCD Baby!
On copper it's the king.
Smooth finish. Lasts forever.
Bit pricey tho.

[Zxavioure]

Can you demonstrate them please and thank you?

[MrLiveEra]

Erm, how are those inserts held in? I have a cutter that takes 42 inserts, such a pain changing,

[martinelenberg]

depends on the material you cutting trough

[МаркоНовак-щш]

Товарищи, что это за тип крепления пластины?
Comrades, what is this type of plate attachment?

[dutchmachinist]

Short answer, no. Long answer, maybe, depends on the material to cut.

[leonschumann]

titan is using capto spindles but never talks about it?

[mh]

Can we see what materials you are cutting? Almost clickbait !

[nikolaishriver]

Is a 1985 Kubota Tractor with 35hp, or a Ferrari F-40 "better"? The question is: Better at doing what

[dantwaites]

For certain cutting applications, yes id assume, but not for most

[TheWoofie]

Not a fan of the tool building shorts. Not very informative or interesting in my opinion. At least show a cut when you load the tool. We use diamond inserts to get a better finish on aluminum and copper

[purplehazerokker]

Usually you switch to diamond after everything else isn’t working. These people are out of touch with budget constraints
