ISO material guide
Match the grade to the material.
The ISO group is the starting point. Cutting conditions, hardness, interruption and operation determine the final grade and edge geometry.
Stainless Steel
Austenitic, ferritic and duplex grades.
Cast Iron
Grey, ductile and compacted graphite iron.
Non-Ferrous
Aluminium, copper and non-ferrous alloys.
Superalloys
Heat-resistant alloys and titanium.
Hardened Materials
Hardened steels and hard components.
Selection note: ISO groups describe work-material families. Manufacturer grade codes are not directly interchangeable; every recommendation should be confirmed against the job and machining trial.
Industries served
Built for demanding applications.
Every industry brings a different mix of materials, tolerances, cycle-time pressure and process stability. We match the insert recommendation to the component and operation—not only the material name.
Automotive
Repeat production machiningConsistent tool life and predictable edge wear for components produced at volume.

Why machinists choose House of Carbides
Clear selection. Practical support. Reliable supply.
Application-first recommendations
We begin with the material, operation and cutting condition before discussing the grade.
Designation clarity
Insert codes, holder compatibility, geometry and pack references are communicated clearly.
Trial-led decisions
Final selection is confirmed by chip control, tool life, finish and process stability.
One point for multiple operations
Turning, milling, threading and drilling requirements can be discussed in one place.
Application support
A clearer path from problem to purchase.
Instead of guessing from a catalogue, we narrow the requirement in four practical steps.
- 01
Understand the job
Material, operation, machine, holder and cutting condition.
- 02
Shortlist the solution
Insert style, geometry, chipbreaker, coating and grade direction.
- 03
Quote clearly
Exact reference, pack quantity, price and expected supply.
- 04
Validate by trial
Review tool life, chip control, finish and process stability.
