Turning inserts are indexable cutting inserts used in lathe operations such as external/internal turning, shoulder machining and finishing. They are typically made from carbide or cermet and are selected to deliver consistent cutting geometry, accuracy and repeatability under production conditions.
Available in positive or negative rake, with common shapes (CNMG, TNMG, VNMG, DNMG), multiple nose radii and chipbreakers matched to different materials and cutting regimes. Choose from grades with wear- and heat-resistant coatings (TiN, TiAlN, Al2O3), from Insize, Mitutoyo & PCE.
Suitable for machine shops and serial production; key buying factors include workpiece material, feed/depth of cut and compatibility with the toolholder.
