The Vortex PCD Turning Insert for Plastics & Non-Ferrous (CNGA120404-PCD) is a high-performance cutting insert built for turning plastics, non-ferrous alloys, and abrasive workpieces. Made with Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD), it delivers exceptional wear resistance, extended tool life, and superior surface finishes compared with traditional coated carbide inserts.

Whether you’re a manufacturing engineer, a shop floor technician, or a purchasing professional, this insert helps you improve part quality and production efficiency on difficult-to-machine materials.

• Long tool life on abrasive materials: The PCD edge resists wear, extending insert life when turning high-silicon aluminum and other abrasive workpieces, reducing tool changes and downtime.
• Excellent surface finish on plastics and non-ferrous metals: Delivers consistently smooth, ready-to-use surfaces, minimizing secondary finishing and post-processing costs.
• Reliable performance in demanding applications: Provides stable cutting action with minimal built-up edge, enabling predictable results across varying speeds and feeds.

This combination of durability, finish quality, and dependable performance helps you streamline production, reduce downtime, and achieve higher-quality parts more consistently—making the Vortex CNGA120404-PCD insert a trusted choice for shops that demand precision and efficiency in plastics and non-ferrous turning.
