At CNC Tools Depot, the world’s largest marketplace for carbide inserts and cutting tools, we offer a complete range of CCMT carbide inserts from global leaders like Korloy, Widia, Kennametal, Taegutec, Mitsubishi, Iscar, and Sandvik.
CCMT inserts are one of the most widely used turning inserts in CNC machining, designed for precision, durability, and high surface finish. Whether you’re working with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, or non-ferrous metals, CCMT inserts provide exceptional cutting performance with reduced vibration and long tool life.
The designation CCMT follows ISO insert nomenclature:
C – Insert shape: 80° diamond
C – Relief angle: 7° clearance
M – Tolerance class: Medium
T – Type: Single-sided insert with hole & chipbreaker
This makes CCMT inserts an 80-degree rhombic turning insert, ideal for external turning, facing, and light to medium cutting operations.
General Turning – High accuracy turning for various metals
Finishing & Semi-Finishing – Excellent surface finish with reduced cutting forces
External & Internal Turning – Suitable for both OD and ID machining
Copy Turning & Profiling – Perfect for components with curves and profiles
Machining Materials – Compatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and exotic alloys
CCMT inserts come in a wide range of grades, chipbreakers, and coatings to suit different applications:
By Coating
Uncoated – For soft metals and non-ferrous alloys
CVD Coated – Best for steel and cast iron at high speeds
PVD Coated – Ideal for stainless steel and super alloys
By Material Grade
Carbide Substrate – Most common, high wear resistance
Cermet Inserts – Excellent for finishing with superior surface quality
PCD / CBN CCMT Inserts – For non-ferrous metals and hardened steels
By Chipbreaker Design
CCMT-F – Finishing chipbreaker
CCMT-M – Medium machining chipbreaker
CCMT-R / Roughing Types – For higher material removal rates
By Size & Specifications
Standard ISO sizes like CCMT 060204, CCMT 09T304, CCMT 120408, etc.
Available in different edge preps for stability and performance
Largest Global Marketplace – Access to all major brands in one place
Genuine Products – 100% authentic inserts from trusted manufacturers
All Sizes & Grades Available – From general turning to high-performance applications
Competitive Pricing – Best deals on bulk orders
Worldwide Shipping – Serving industries across the globe
CCMT refers to a turning insert with an 80° diamond shape (C), clearance angle (C = 7°), tolerance class (M), and hole type (T).
CCMT inserts are primarily used in turning, facing, profiling, and boring applications on CNC lathes.
CCMT inserts have a positive rake with lower cutting forces, ideal for finishing. CNMG inserts have a negative rake, suitable for heavy-duty roughing.
CVD-coated CCMT inserts are best for high-speed machining of steel and cast iron, while PVD-coated or uncoated inserts are better for stainless steel and non-ferrous materials.
: Yes, but choose uncoated or polished CCMT inserts for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals to prevent built-up edge.
Popular sizes include CCMT 060204, CCMT 09T304, and CCMT 120408, depending on depth of cut and toolholder.
Selection depends on workpiece material, machining operation (finishing, medium, roughing), and cutting conditions.
Yes, but for heavy interrupted cuts, inserts with tougher grades and reinforced edges are recommended.
Leading brands include Korloy, Kennametal, Widia, Taegutec, Sandvik, Mitsubishi, and Iscar.
