Shape:Rhombic (diamond) with an 80-degree included angle.
Clearance Angle: 0 degrees
Cutting Edges:Double-sided, offering two cutting edges per insert for cost-effectiveness.
Chipbreaker Geometries:Diverse range of chipbreaker styles from various manufacturers are available. These are tailored to specific materials and machining operations (roughing, finishing, etc.).
Key Uses:Primarily used for general turning operations and some facing work on a range of materials.
Common Materials CNMA Inserts are Used For
Cast Iron:Suitable for many cast iron applications.
Advantages of CNMA Inserts
Cost-effective:Due to their double-sided design, offering longer tool life per insert.
Versatile:The range of grades and chipbreakers make them suitable for many machining applications.
Strong Geometric Shape:The 80-degree diamond shape provides strength and rigidity for their size.
Important Considerations
Match the Grade to Your Material:Choosing the right insert coating and substrate composition is crucial for optimal tool life and performance in the specific material you’re cutting.
Select the Right Chipbreaker:The chipbreaker geometry significantly influences how chips are formed and broken. It should be chosen based on the material and type of machining operation.
