CNMM Insert Specifications

Heavy and semi-heavy machining require chip breakers designed for the task. Wide chip breakers optimize chip control at large depths of cut and high feeds. Cutting edge strength is maximized with a flat, negative land design. Conversely, finishing operations benefit from smaller chip breakers to facilitate chip breaking due to reduced cutting force. In finishing, prioritize cutting edge sharpness with a positive land and small edge honing. CNMM insert excel in roughing applications.

CNMM insert Introduction

1. Dimensions
- Forme: Rhombic (diamond) with an 80-degree included angle.
- Clearance Angle: Negative (typically in the range of -5 to -7 degrees).
- Tolerance: Medium (‘M’) is typical, but other tolerances may exist for specialized needs.
- Inscribed Circle (IC): Determines the overall insert size (common: 12.7mm, 16mm).
- Épaisseur: Impacts strength and cutting edge count (common: 4.76mm, 6.35mm).
- Corner Radius: Affects strength and surface finish (common: 0.4mm, 0.8mm, 1.2mm).
2. Chipbreaker Geometries
- Hugely Important: Chipbreakers shape how chips form and break, ensuring efficient chip flow, tool protection, and workpiece finish.
- Manufacturer-Specific: Chipbreaker designations are coded into the CNMM code (the “MM”). Refer to manufacturer catalogs for the specifics.
- Match to Operation: Consider:
  - Matériau de la pièce
  - Depth of cut (light vs. heavy)
  - Desired finish
3. Hole Configuration
- Central Hole: For secure clamping on toolholders.
- Hole-less: Rely on alternative clamping mechanisms.
- Toolholder Compatibility: Essential to match the insert’s hole configuration to your toolholder.
4. Coating and Substrate
- Enrobage: Common types include TiN, TiAlN, CVD, and PVD. Each offers different wear resistance, thermal properties, and suitability for various materials.
- Substrate: The base carbide material the coating is applied to. Compositions vary, offering toughness vs. wear resistance trade-offs.
- Application-Specific: The right grade is crucial for optimal performance and tool life.
