At CNC Tools Depot, we bring you the largest collection of DCMT Carbide Inserts, designed for precision, performance, and durability in CNC machining. Known for their 55° diamond-shaped geometry, DCMT inserts are widely used for turning, profiling, and finishing applications on steels, stainless steels, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials.
Whether you are using Korloy, Kennametal, Widia, Taegutec, Mitsubishi, Sandvik, or Iscar tooling systems, we have the right DCMT insert to fit your machining needs.
Shape: Diamond-shaped insert with 55° angle
Relief Angle (C): 7° clearance, ensuring smooth cutting
Tolerance (M): Medium tolerance for balanced accuracy
Chipbreaker & Grades: Available in multiple geometries and coatings (CVD/PVD) for roughing to finishing operations
This makes DCMT inserts one of the most versatile and widely used insert types in CNC lathes and turning centers.
DCMT inserts are engineered for precision turning operations, delivering excellent surface finishes and long tool life. Key applications include:
External Turning – Ideal for finishing and semi-finishing operations
Profiling – Perfect for contouring and complex geometries
Copy Turning – Smooth surface generation on curved surfaces
Grooving & Chamfering – Suitable for light grooving, facing, and chamfer applications
Material Versatility – Works efficiently on steels, stainless steels, cast iron, aluminum, titanium, and exotic alloys
DCMT with Finishing Chipbreaker (F) – Delivers high precision & smooth surface finishes
DCMT with Medium Chipbreaker (M) – Best for general turning & profiling
DCMT with Roughing Chipbreaker (R) – Handles higher cutting forces & material removal
Coated DCMT Inserts (CVD/PVD) – Enhanced tool life, wear resistance, and heat protection
Uncoated DCMT Inserts – Preferred for soft materials like aluminum and non-ferrous metals
High dimensional accuracy with 55° diamond geometry
Excellent chip evacuation with specialized chipbreakers
Longer tool life due to advanced carbide grades & coatings
Compatible with multiple tool holders & brands
Versatility – supports finishing, semi-finishing, and profiling in one insert type
World’s largest marketplace for carbide inserts
Wide selection from top brands – Korloy, Kennametal, Widia, Taegutec, Mitsubishi, Sandvik & more
Competitive pricing with bulk purchase options
100% genuine and original products
Global shipping & quick delivery
DCMT refers to a 55° diamond-shaped insert with a 7° clearance angle and medium tolerance.
They are mainly used for turning, profiling, and finishing in CNC lathes.
Yes, with the right grade and coating, DCMT inserts work effectively on stainless steels.
They fit D-shaped turning tool holders, commonly used in CNC machines.
Yes, uncoated or PVD-coated DCMT inserts are ideal for aluminum and non-ferrous materials.
F type – Finishing
M type – Medium/general purpose
R type – Roughing
Yes, DCMT inserts with 55° angle are better suited for fine finishing and profiling compared to CNMG inserts.
Yes, depending on the material – CVD for steels & cast iron, PVD for stainless & non-ferrous metals.
Tool life depends on cutting parameters, material, and grade selection, but premium inserts offer extended life compared to HSS tools.
Major brands include Korloy, Kennametal, Widia, Taegutec, Mitsubishi, Iscar, and Sandvik.
