RC inserts (RCMT/RCMX) are round carbide turning inserts used for operations from roughing to finishing, offering stable cutting and efficient chip evacuation. Selection depends on the workpiece material and the required surface finish and tool life.
Available in multiple carbide grades and coatings (e.g., PVD/CVD), with chipbreaker geometries tailored for steel, stainless, cast iron and non-ferrous materials. Options include various sizes, nose radii and tolerances, from Yg.
Consider toolholder compatibility, cutting parameters and coolant strategy to maximize performance and minimize vibration.
