Deskar CNMG120408-CQ LF9018

“Cut your cost per component by up to 30% with a smarter turning insert.”

• Geometry & form: CNMG120408 — an 80° rhombic (C-shaped) negative insert with CQ chipbreaker geometry. 

• Corner radius: Approx. 0.8 mm (for the “08” size) ensures balanced strength and surface finish.

• Grade & Coating: LF9018 — a high-performance coated carbide (CVD/PVD) grade, offering top-class wear resistance and heat resistance. 

• Applications: Primarily designed for turning (external), finishing to semi-finishing operations. Handles steel, stainless steel, alloy steels, and some cast irons.

• ✅ Longer tool life — The LF9018 grade and robust coating resist wear and edge degradation, even in demanding steels/stainless cycles. That means fewer insert changes and lower tooling cost per component.

• ✅ Stable & predictable performance — CQ chipbreaker geometry ensures smooth chip flow and stable cutting, reducing risk of chatter or unexpected failures.

• ✅ Improved surface finish — Thanks to consistent chip control and edge stability, you get cleaner finishes with less rework.

• ✅ Reduced downtime / higher productivity — Less frequent insert replacements, better process stability, and versatility across materials help keep machines running longer and jobs moving faster.

• Automotive: shafts, housings, spindles, drive components.

• Aerospace: alloy & stainless structural parts, housings, flanges.

• Die & Mold: steel mould inserts, tooling components.

• General Engineering & Heavy Machinery: shafts, couplings, housings, fabrications involving steel and stainless parts
