BASIC APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) CBN tipped tools and inserts are excellent for the
continuous cutting of a wide range of hardened steels, powdered metals, cast irons and super alloys. The
products are precision ground with hones for machining to sub-micron finishes with maximum tool life. CBN tipped
tools can take the place of grinding.
Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) PCD tipped boring bars and inserts are excellent
for continuous cutting of a wide range of non-ferrous and non-metal materials. The products are precision ground for machining to sub-micron finishes with maximum tool
life. PCD tipped tools allow for higher cutting speedswith longer tool life.
Guidelines for PCDHigher speeds minimze tool buildup.Depth of cut should not exceed 70% of PCD tip length.Use of coolant will reduce heat and improve surface finish.Do not stop the machine with the tool in cut - this will result in tool breakage.Make sure the machine and setup is rigid and solid; chatter will cause chipping.Tool height when boring should be slightly above center; tool deflection will put the tool on center.Do not contact the tool to a hard surface prior to the machining process - this will cause chipping.
(Ideal for non-ferrous materials)
Guidelines for CBNDepth of cut should not exceed 30% of CBN tip length.Coolant use is not advised as it could cause thermal crackingDo not stop the machine with the tool in cut - this will result in tool breakage.Make sure the machine and setup is rigid and solid; chatter will cause chipping.Tool height when boring should be slightly above center; tool deflection will put the tool on center.Do not contact the tool to a hard surface prior to the machining process - this will cause chipping.
(Ideal for hard ferrous metal -45 Rc plus)
CBN and PCD tipped solid carbide boring bar minimum bore options starting at 0.120"
CBN and PCD tipped indexable boring bar minimum bore options starting at 0.220"
All CBN and PCD tipped boring bars have premium submicron carbide bodies and a precision ground flat
CBN and PCD tipped indexable inserts are sold separately
CBN and PCD indexable inserts are available for triangle or diamond shaped left or right-hand bars

APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Make sure the machine and setup is rigid and solid.Chatter will cause chipping
Tool height when boring should be slightly above center. Tool deflection will put the tool on center.
Do not stop the machine with the tool in cut.This will result in tool breakage.
Coolant use is not advised as it could cause thermal cracking.
Do not contact the tool to a hard surface prior to themachining process. This will cause chipping.
Depth of cut should not exceed 30% of CBN tip length.

SCT CBN tools and inserts are excellent for continuous cutting of a wide range of hardened steels, powdered metals, cast irons and super alloys. The products are precision ground with hones for machining to sub-micron finishes with maximum tool life. CBN tipped tools and inserts can take the place of grinding.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Make sure the machine and setup is rigid and solid.Chatter will cause chipping.
Tool height when boring should be slightly above center.Tool deflection will put the tool on center.
Do not stop the machine with the tool in cut.This will result in tool breakage.
Use of coolant will reduce heat and improve surface finish.
Do not contact the tool to a hard surface prior to themachining process- this will cause chipping.
Higher speeds minimize tool buildup.
Depth of cut should not exceed 70% of PCD tip length.
PCD APPLICATIONS
PCD TIPPED TOOLS SPEEDS AND FEEDS
AS THE DOC DECREASES THE FEED RATE CAN INCREASE SCT PCD tools and inserts are excellent for continuous cutting of a wide range of non-ferrous and non-metal materials. The products are precision ground for machining to sub-micron finishes with maximum tool life. PCD allows for higher cutting speeds with longer tool life.

A Legacy of ExcellenceScientific Cutting Tools, Inc. was established as an innovative cutting tool manufacturer based upon the simple marketing concept of providing customers with superior products, competitive prices, and uncompromising customer service. SCT entered the cutting tool manufacturing field with one drivinggoal—to deliver unprecedented value to our customers.
Over the years, SCT has developed new tool lines and refined existing product groups. Through aggressive research and development, SCT has the capability of developing specialized tools for specific customer projects, as well as the ability to modify existing stock tools to meet individual customer needs.
Although 53 years have passed since SCT first opened its doors, our fundamental reasons for being in business have remained the same as those originally established by company founder Stan Christopher. Our commitment to quality control, unparalleled craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction continue to set us above the competition.
Adopting a company philosophy of “pride in our people means pride in workmanship,” has proven to be the spark to ignite our ability to provide the best value in the industry. SCT’s team of specially trained machinists, operators, engineers, and our customer service team all take pride in dedication to their craft and producing the highest quality goods for our customers.
SCT has an excellent reputation as a manufacturer of an extensive line of cutting tools including thread mills, port tools, cavity tools, indexable and solid carbide boring bars, threading tools, coolant through tools, and more. We stock coated (AlTiN) and uncoated versions of our products and all carbide used in our processes must pass stringent quality tests.
SCT’s commitment to only working with the latest CNC tool and cutter grinders, and turning centers as well as dedicated employees using forward-thinking technology has allowed us to produce top-end cutting tools using quality materials at competitive market prices.
New Addition: The CRT HolderOur CRT holders are made from high quality heat-treated steel, come with a black oxide coating and are engineered to allow for better coolant penetration deep into the bore, reducing temperature at the cutting edge. The adjustable back stop is infinitely adjustable rather than fixed. This allows all of our single point tools to be set at their ideal maximum bore length, allowing for superior performance without chatter or other performance related issues. The CRT holder delivers a 360° flow of coolant to all of SCT’s single point tools. Use with our qualified boring bars and/or qualified threading tools for quick change machining.
