SVERD Cutting Tool Solutions

Catalogue-based product selection for drilling, milling, grooving, Swiss-type machining and aluminium applications.

Operation-based product selection

Select the right SVERD product for your operation

SVERD catalogues include indexable drill inserts, milling inserts, face grooving inserts and cutters, Swiss tools and aluminium machining inserts. At Balkanlar Mühendislik, we assess each product code alongside the material, machine, workholding, cutting conditions and target cycle time.

This page makes it easier to browse SVERD catalogues and find the right product family quickly. For a specific recommendation, contact us with your workpiece material, operation type, tool diameter, depth of cut and current tool life.

Users often search for ‘carbide inserts for aluminium’, ‘APKT milling inserts’, ‘SOMT drill inserts’, ‘SPDR grooving inserts’, ‘CNC milling insert selection’, ‘how to extend tool life’ or ‘how to reduce machining time’. Our approach addresses the real need behind these searches: combining the right product with the right cutting strategy.

SVERD catalogue scope

  • Indexable drill insert family: SOMT...-VDP drilling inserts and PVD/CVD grade options
  • Milling inserts: 90-degree shoulder milling, general metal removal and high-positive geometries

Categories and product codes

Indexable Drill Inserts

For indexable drilling operations, SVERD SOMT series inserts are assessed according to the diameter and hole depth range. The catalogue also offers PVD/CVD grades for P, M, K and S material groups.

Example codes: SOMT040204-VDP, SOMT050204-VDP, SOMT060204-VDP, SOMT070204-VDP, SOMT08T306-VDP, SOMT09T308-VDP, SOMT11T308-VDP, SOMT130408-VDP.

Milling Inserts

The milling catalogue covers shoulder milling, general metal removal, high-positive geometries and double-sided inserts. Selection should consider material removal rate, surface requirements, depth of cut and machine rigidity together.

Example codes: APKT09T308R-EM, APKT1705PDER-EM, R390-11T308M-PM, ANHX160716-F57, XNEX080612TR-ME09, XNEX080608TR-ME09, 6NGU060408R-M, 6NGU090516R-M, HNMX050410-MM, ONMU090520ANTN-M15, LNMT1306PNTR, SNMX1205ANN-ZM, SDMT120512-GM.

Face Grooving Inserts and Cutters

For face grooving and internal face turning, SPDR inserts and compatible KSPDR holders are used. Width, minimum diameter, maximum diameter and groove geometry are critical selection parameters.

Example codes: SPDR080DM06A, SPDR100DM06A, SPDR120DM06A, SPDR150DM06A, SPDR175DM06A, SPDR200DM06A, SPDR100DM10, SPDR150DM10, SPDR200DM10, SPDR250DM10, SPDR300DM10, KSPDR0010F06A, KSPDR0012F06A, KSPDR0012F10, KSPDR0016F10, KSPDR0020F10.

Aluminium Inserts

Sharp cutting edges, chip control and surface finish are priorities when machining aluminium and non-ferrous materials. The SVERD aluminium catalogue includes a wide range of insert codes for turning, milling, grooving and threading.

Example codes: DCGT070202-AL, DCGT11T304-AL, CCGT060204-AL, CCGT120408-AL, VCGT160404-AL, VBGT160408-AL, SCGT120404-AL, TCGT16T304-AL, TNMG160402-AL, CNMG120404-HA, WNMG080404-HA, APKT1604-MA, APGT1604-G2, RCGT0803-MO, MGMN300-M, 16ER AG60, 16IR ISO150.

Grade and coating options

The catalogues include CVD and PVD grade groups. CVD grades for cast iron and stable cutting conditions include SA126, SA128, SA117, SA127; PVD grades for P, M, K and S material groups include SA104, SA102, SA101, SA106, SA129, SA130, SA107, SA131, SA132 among the listed grade codes.

Swiss Tools

The Swiss tools range supports precision tool selection for small parts and automatic lathe applications. Selection is generally determined by part geometry, clamping space, tool access and the sequence of operations.

Depending on the application, external turning, grooving, parting-off, precision small-diameter machining and custom tooling can be assessed together.

Milling Tools and Carbide Cutting Tools

The SVERD Milling Tools catalogue covers carbide drills, through-coolant drills, reamers, thread mills, end mills, ball nose end mills and milling tools. These products support holemaking, precision sizing, thread milling, aluminium machining and general milling operations.

Featured groups: 3D carbide drills, 5D carbide drills, 8DI carbide drills, carbide reamers, thread milling cutters, 3-flute end mills, ball nose end mills, APKT tools and ONMU/HNMG/SNMX face milling groups.

Which SVERD solution fits your needs?

The search for a cutting tool often begins with a production problem. We assess SVERD product families against that need.

Burrs and surface problems in aluminium

Surface finish can be improved with sharp-edged aluminium inserts, effective chip evacuation and suitable cutting parameters. DCGT, CCGT, VCGT, APKT, APGT and RCGT families are assessed according to the operation.

Vibration and corner chipping in milling

In shoulder milling and general metal removal, tool overhang, depth of cut, workholding and machine rigidity are as important as the insert code. APKT, R390, XNEX, 6NGU, HNMX and SNMX groups are selected to suit the application.

Tool life and hole quality in drilling

SOMT insert selection for indexable drills should account for the material group, hole depth, coolant and feed rates. The aim is stable, repeatable production as well as successful holemaking.

Dimensional accuracy and stability in grooving

In face grooving, SPDR insert width, minimum diameter, maximum diameter and compatibility with KSPDR holders are assessed together. Incorrect selection directly affects tool life, dimensional stability and surface finish.

Reducing costs in series production

Tool price alone does not represent total cost. Considering cycle time, tooling cost per part, scrap risk and setup time together makes the right SVERD solution clearer.

Improving an existing operation

Your current insert code, cutting parameters and workpiece material can inform recommendations for alternative grades, geometries and parameters. This is a process improvement exercise as well as a tool selection decision.

Common requirements for SVERD products

SVERD products are usually considered to address a production need. The SOMT family suits indexable drilling; APKT and similar milling inserts support milling operations; SPDR inserts and KSPDR holders are assessed for grooving applications.

For aluminium and non-ferrous materials, sharp-edged insert families such as DCGT, CCGT, VCGT, APKT, APGT and RCGT should be assessed for surface finish, burr formation and chip evacuation in the specific operation. The aim is to make existing machining conditions more stable and economical.
