LPT115D2 THINBIT LITTLEBIT L Parting Insert Carbide for Steel

Description

Product Overview

The LPT115D2 THINBIT LITTLEBIT L series parting insert is a precision‑engineered cutting tool designed for demanding machining applications. Constructed from uncoated DURA‑MAX 2000 carbide, the insert delivers exceptional hardness and wear resistance, making it suitable for machining steel, cast iron, and stainless steel. Its compact dimensions—measuring just 1 x 0.13 x 0.23 inches—allow it to fit into tight toolholder geometries while maintaining structural integrity. The insert features an interrupted cut geometry that provides clean parting action and reduces the risk of chip welding, extending tool life and improving surface finish. Compatibility with large series toolholders ensures seamless integration into existing machining setups, and the narrow width design reduces material loss and part deflection, which is especially valuable when working with thin‑wall tubing, small‑diameter workpieces, or precious metals. The product is backed by Kaiser Tool Company, a reputable manufacturer known for rigorous quality control and consistent performance across its cutting tool portfolio.

Usage

This parting insert excels in environments where precision and material efficiency are paramount. It is ideal for parting solid stock up to 1.000″ in diameter or tubing with wall thicknesses up to .500″. Machinists in aerospace, automotive, medical device, and jewelry manufacturing will find the insert particularly useful for creating clean separations on high‑value alloys and thin‑walled components. The interrupted cut design enables rapid chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup and allowing higher cutting speeds without sacrificing surface quality. Because the insert is uncoated, it avoids the risk of coating delamination when machining abrasive or high‑temperature materials, providing reliable performance even under demanding conditions. The tool is also well‑suited for CNC turning centers equipped with large series toolholders, where repeatability and quick tool changes are essential for high‑volume production.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively?

The LPT115D2 insert is designed for steel, cast iron, and stainless steel. Its uncoated carbide composition also performs well on high‑temperature alloys and abrasive materials where coated inserts might suffer from coating wear.

Can the insert be used on CNC machines with standard toolholders?

Yes. While the insert is optimized for large series toolholders, it can also be mounted in standard toolholder configurations that accept the L series geometry, provided the holder’s clamping dimensions match the insert’s size.

What is the maximum stock size this insert can handle?

The insert can part solid stock up to 1.000″ in diameter and tubing with wall thicknesses up to .500″. For larger diameters, a different insert size or series may be required.

How does the interrupted cut design benefit machining?

Interrupted cuts break the cutting edge into segments, allowing chips to escape more easily and reducing the chance of chip welding. This results in smoother finishes, lower cutting forces, and extended tool life.

What kind of after‑sales support is available?

Kaiser Tool Company provides technical assistance, replacement policies, and access to a comprehensive downloads section that includes CAD files, toolholder compatibility charts, and detailed machining guidelines to help users get the most out of their inserts.
