CCGT Carbide Inserts – High-Precision Turning Inserts for Superior Surface Finish

Overview

At CNC Tools Depot, we offer the world’s largest selection of CCGT carbide inserts from leading global brands like Korloy, Widia, Kennametal, Taegutec, Mitsubishi, Iscar, and Kyocera.

CCGT inserts are highly precise single-sided turning inserts with a positive rake angle, optimized for finishing and semi-finishing applications. Known for delivering exceptional surface finish and reduced cutting forces, they are widely used for machining aluminum, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and low-carbon steels.

Key Features of CCGT Inserts

  • High Positive Geometry: Enables smooth cutting with minimal vibration.

  • Polished Cutting Edge: Ideal for non-ferrous materials like aluminum and copper.

  • Sharp Edge Design: Provides excellent chip control and dimensional accuracy.

  • Available in Multiple Grades & Coatings: For specific material applications.

  • ISO Standardized: Compatible with various tool holders.

Applications

CCGT carbide inserts are designed for precision turning in industries such as:

  • Automotive: Machining engine components, pistons, and aluminum housings.

  • Aerospace: Turning aircraft-grade aluminum alloys.

  • General Engineering: Stainless steel and mild steel finishing jobs.

  • Medical: Titanium and stainless steel surgical instruments

 

Types of CCGT Inserts by Chipbreaker & Grade

Depending on the application, CCGT inserts come in different chipbreaker styles and carbide grades:

  1. CCGT-AL – Optimized for aluminum with mirror-polished edges.

  2. CCGT-SF – Sharp edge for stainless steel finishing.

  3. CCGT-P – For mild steel and soft materials.

  4. Uncoated CCGT – For non-ferrous metals, providing burr-free cutting.

  5. PVD-Coated CCGT – Enhanced wear resistance for stainless steel.

 

CCGT Insert Shape & Designation

CCGT is an ISO insert code:

  • C – 80° diamond shape.

  • C – Clearance angle of 7°.

  • G – Tolerance class (Ground, high precision).

  • T – Single-sided insert with hole.

Example: CCGT060204-AL

  • 06 – Insert size (cutting edge length).

  • 02 – Insert thickness in mm.

  • 04 – Corner radius in tenths of a mm.

  • AL – Chipbreaker for aluminum.

Frequently Asked Questions

CCGT inserts are ideal for aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, titanium, and low-carbon steels.

They are primarily designed for finishing and semi-finishing; for heavy roughing, use CNMG or WNMG inserts.

CCGT inserts have a sharper, ground cutting edge for light cuts, while CCMT inserts have a stronger, molded edge for tougher cuts.

Yes, especially for aluminum; however, coolant helps improve tool life for stainless steel and titanium.

No, carbide inserts are disposable; once worn, they must be replaced.

No, they fit standard CC-style turning tool holders.

It indicates a chipbreaker designed for aluminum machining.

They come in both uncoated (for non-ferrous metals) and coated (PVD, TiAlN) variants.

Smaller radii (0.2-0.4mm) are best for fine finishing; larger radii (0.8mm) handle higher feeds.
