CNMG 160612 Carbide Turning Insert | Carbide Express

CNMG 160612 Carbide Turning Insert

The Carbide Express CNMG 160612 is a negative-style carbide turning insert designed for CNC lathes and turning centres. Featuring an 80° diamond-shaped geometry and a 1.2 mm nose radius, it provides a strong cutting edge for general turning, roughing, facing and semi-finishing operations.

The larger 1.2 mm nose radius provides a robust cutting edge suitable for material removal and heavier machining conditions when used with the appropriate carbide grade, tool holder and cutting parameters.
