Deskar CCMT09T308 LF6018

Cut more parts per insert — reduce downtime, boost throughput, and lower cost per component.

• Grade & Coating: The LF6018 grade is a CVD-coated carbide specially tailored for stainless steel and steel applications. It offers improved wear resistance and edge security in tough-to-machine materials.

• Geometry & Dimensions: Rhombic “C” (80°) insert, positive 7° rake, with an insert size (IC) ~9.525 mm, thickness ~3.97 mm, and nose radius r = 0.8 mm.

• Chipbreaker / Application: Uses a standard chipbreaker suitable for semi-finishing and finishing in stainless steels (and steels) in external turning or boring.

• Cutting Speed Recommendations:
    • Stainless steel (M): 80–180 m/min 
    • Steel (P): 80–180 m/min
    • Cast iron (K): lower range ~80–130 m/min 

• Versatility: Supports full turning spectrum — external turning, internal boring, contouring, and light profiling.

• Less Downtime: Thanks to strong edge stability and wear resistance of LF6018, insert changes are less frequent in demanding materials — hence fewer interruptions.

• Better Surface Finish: The positive geometry ensures smoother cutting with less chatter and better surface integrity.

• High Wear Resistance: The coating and carbide grade resist flank and crater wear even in stainless steel work.

• Cost Efficiency: With fewer rejects and longer life, the net cost per finished part drops — excellent ROI in production runs.

• Trusted in Shops: Many users in Asia and globally pick this insert for its consistent performance in tough operational environments.

• Automotive — machining valve bodies, exhaust parts, shafts

• Aerospace / Defense — stainless components, heat-resistant alloys (in limited speeds)

• Mold & Die — finishing of mold cavities, high surface spec parts

• General Engineering — shafts, housings, fittings in stainless or alloy steels
