Carbide inserts, also known as lathe carbide inserts, are cutting tools used in machining processes. Made from a hard and durable carbide material, they are primarily used in lathes for turning operations. These inserts are designed to handle high-speed machining and are capable of maintaining their cutting edge under intense conditions. They come in various shapes, sizes, and geometries to suit different cutting requirements. Measurements typically include the size, cutting angle, and edge radius, often specified in millimeters.
