Guidelines:
The main factors influencing the selection of PCD grades include a combination of considerations: workpiece material, operation type, machining parameters, surface finish requirements, and tool geometry.
Machining parameters are indicated in general ranges as a starting guideline.
Technical support is available and is recommended for application optimization.
