THINBIT LGPT045D5 L Series Carbide Parting Insert for Aluminium

Description

Product Overview

The THINBIT LGPT045D5 L Series parting insert is engineered from high‑grade uncoated DURA‑MAX 5000 carbide, delivering exceptional rigidity and wear resistance for demanding machining environments. Its compact dimensions—1.06 x 0.17 x 0.24 inches—allow it to access tight spaces and produce clean, uninterrupted cuts in non‑ferrous alloys, aluminium, and engineering plastics. The insert’s geometry is optimized for parting operations, providing a stable cutting edge that reduces vibration and improves surface finish. Designed for use with large series straight or 90‑degree toolholders, the insert integrates seamlessly into existing CNC setups, delivering consistent performance across a range of part geometries. The product dimensions, material composition, and precise tolerances are verified against industry standards, ensuring reliability and repeatability in high‑volume production runs.

Usage

Ideal for parting solid stock up to 1.000″ in diameter and tubing with wall thicknesses up to .500″, the LGPT045D5 excels in applications where material conservation and dimensional accuracy are critical. Machinists frequently employ this insert when working on thin‑wall tubing, small‑diameter shafts, and precision components such as aerospace brackets, medical device housings, and high‑performance automotive parts. Its narrow width reduces material loss and part deflection, enabling cuts within .062″ of a collet face or the shoulder of a larger diameter workpiece. The insert’s robust carbide composition tolerates high spindle speeds and feed rates, making it suitable for both high‑speed CNC machining centers and conventional manual lathes. Users benefit from its ability to produce smooth, burr‑free edges, reducing the need for secondary deburring operations and shortening overall production cycles.

FAQ

What material grades is the LGPT045D5 suitable for?

The insert is optimized for non‑ferrous alloys such as aluminium, copper, brass, and also works well with engineering plastics. Its carbide composition provides the necessary hardness to cut these softer materials without causing chip welding or built‑up edge.

Can the insert be used on both solid stock and tubing?

Yes. It is rated for solid stock up to 1.000″ in diameter and can handle tubing with wall thicknesses up to .500″. The narrow profile allows it to cut close to the collet face, making it ideal for thin‑wall applications.

What toolholder series is required for installation?

The LGPT045D5 is designed for use with the Large series toolholders. It fits both straight and 90‑degree configurations, giving you flexibility in machine orientation and workpiece positioning.

How does the uncoated carbide compare to coated alternatives?

Uncoated DURA‑MAX 5000 carbide offers a balance of toughness and wear resistance without the added cost and handling considerations of coatings. For the intended non‑ferrous and plastic applications, the uncoated material provides excellent performance and longer tool life.

Is technical assistance available for setup and optimization?

Absolutely. Kaiser Tool Company provides comprehensive technical support, including machining parameters, CAD drawings, and troubleshooting guidance to help you achieve the best results with the LGPT045D5 insert.
