Carbide Inserts
See Carbide Insert Catalog for a complete list of Insert Profiles available from Rottler Manufacturing.
Special Profiles
Special Profile Cutter Inserts can be manufactured to your exact specifications and can include a
combination of angles and radius blends.
There is three different style insert blanks.
A - Style Blank insert, RCA is a small insert for all standard applications.
B - Style Blank insert, RCB in design for long profiles like High Performances profiles with multi angles o
Radius or other special applications
C - Style Blank insert, RCC is a much thicker insert for Heavy Duty tooling and can be use for hard seat
materials (will work only on the Large Inserts holders series 3000 style insert holders, for the 20.00mm
tooling)
Special Order - Special Profile Carbide Cutter Bits are generally considered to be "Customer Proprietary".
These are uniquely numbered, exclusively for the ordering customer; prices will vary depending on
quantities and additional charge for initial run.

Carbide Pilots
See Carbide Pilot catalog for a complete list of Pilots available.
Rottler Solid Fixed Carbide Pilots are manufactured from fine grain sintered tungsten carbide and are
ground to a very high degree of accuracy, straightness and surface finísh - designed for a life time of
precision machining!
The part number of the pilot represents the actual diameter in metric of the straight/parallel part of the
pilot where the pilot fits into the valve guide.
For example:
FCP0700 means that the diameter of the part of the pilot that goes into the valve guide is 7.00mm
(0.2756”)
FCP1270 means that the diameter of the part of the pilot that goes into the valve guide is 12.70mm
(0.5000”)
Pilots are available in increments of .01mm (0.0004”). Normally, a small amount of clearance approx
.01mm (0.0004”) is required between the pilot and the valve guide.
Most new valve guides are manufactured to a nominal size and the valve stem diameters are
manufactured to be smaller than the nominal size to allow clearance for heat expansion of the valve stem
when the engine is operating. For example: a 7mm valve guide has an internal diameter of exactly
7.00mm (.2756”) The valve stem diameter of the intake valve is 6.98mm (.2748”) and the exhaust is
