How do you choose grade inserts?
There are many parameters to consider when choosing turning insert….The insert grade is primarily selected according to:
- Component material (ISO P, M, K, N, S, H)

- Machining conditions (good, average, difficult)
Can you use carbide on aluminum?
In aluminum high-speed machining applications, use coarse-grain carbide materials for endmills, which should be either DLC or non-coated with wide chip room and solid rigidity. When running at 30,000 rpm and 80-HP, the core strength of the tool is critical.
What is the difference between positive and negative inserts?
Negative inserts, like the VNMG insert in the picture, have a zero relief angle. Both faces of the insert are therefore the same, and you get cutting edges on both. Positive inserts, like the VBMT insert in the picture, have a non-zero relief angle. Only one face of the insert has cutting edges.

For aluminum, an 8-10 TPI blade is best. As far as the best brand of metal cutting blade, we like MK Morse. If you are cutting cast iron, stainless steel, and high-strength alloys, or for jobs like auto dismantling and fire & rescue, look for a carbide-tipped blade that is at least 8 TPI.
What works best for cutting aluminum?
Use a wood-cutting saw with carbide-tipped blades to cut most aluminum. Select a fine-toothed blade and don’t cut aluminum with a wall thickness of more than 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm). If possible, choose a saw blade that creates narrow kerfs (the notch or slot made by the saw).
