1

Choose Your Insert (HCD Series)

Select the insert for your cutting diameter (ø10–32mm). One insert code covers a 1mm diameter range and fits all four shank depth ratios. Stock multiple inserts of the same code for quick swaps.

2

Choose Your Shank (3D / 5D / 8D / 10D)

Match the shank depth ratio to your hole depth requirement. The shank class (C20/C25/C32) is automatically determined by cutting diameter. Same shank body is reused across thousands of insert changes.

Why the JCD System Wins on Cost per Hole

Insert Change < 30 Seconds

Single Torx screw retention — no set-up gauge required. Replace the carbide tip without removing the shank from the machine.

Carbide Tip Precision

Solid carbide JCD inserts ground on CNC 5-axis centres. Runout < 0.005mm at tip — equivalent to full solid carbide drills.

Internal Coolant Delivery

Coolant channel runs from shank bore through insert. Up to 80 bar compatible. Effective chip flush at all depth ratios.

4 Depth Ratios

3D · 5D · 8D · 10D shanks for the same insert — one consumable covers your full depth range, minimising insert SKU count.

ø10–32mm Range

Three shank classes (C20 / C25 / C32) cover the full diameter range with optimised body-to-shank geometry at each size.

Cost per Hole Advantage

Shank reuse across hundreds of insert changes. Total tooling cost 40–60% lower than equivalent solid carbide drills at high volume.
