Deskar WNMA080408 LF3018
The WNMA 080408 LF3018 carbide insert delivers exceptional tool life, superior surface finish and cost-effective performance for turning operations in steel & cast iron. Available at India’s largest marketplace for carbide inserts – CNC Tools Depot.
Unlock next-level productivity with the WNMA 080408 LF3018 – a premium indexable carbide insert that sets the benchmark in modern machining.
Why it matters: Whether you’re finishing shafts, components or housings, tool changes, downtime and sub-par surface finish cause hidden cost. This insert is engineered to slash those pain points.
Key Features & Specifications:
-
Geometry: WNMA 080408 – 80°trigon insert, size 08 (inscribed circle ~12.7 mm), thickness ~4.76 mm.
-
Grade: LF3018 – designed for steel machining (and some cast iron) with excellent finishing characteristics.
-
Coating: Premium coated carbide (PVD or multi-layer) substrate base to maximise wear resistance and maintain edge strength.
Application: Primarily turning operations (external/internal), suited for general engineering, automotive & aerospace components where finish and productivity count.
Why It’s a Best Seller:
-
Less downtime: With superior wear resistance and edge retention, the LF3018 grade keeps you cutting longer between tool-changes.
-
Better surface finish: The fine-tuned geometry and coating minimise built-up edge and chatter for consistent finish quality.
-
Cost per component drops: Longer insert life + fewer rejects + reduced non-productive time = direct savings.
-
Versatility: Handles diverse materials and operations – you stock one insert and cover multiple jobs.
Application Industries:
Ideal for manufacturing in: automotive (engine blocks, camshafts), aerospace (mounting brackets, housings), die & mould (finish turning cavities, cores), general engineering (shafts, sleeves, gears).

Frequently Asked Questions
The LF3018 grade is specifically designed for steel machining and some cast-iron applications in finishing operations
“0804” refers to the insert size (inscribed circle approx. 12.7 mm), and “08” denotes the corner radius (typically 0.8 mm) for this insert family (WNMA)
The coated carbide substrate (PVD or similar) enhances wear resistance, edge stability and thermal robustness—so you get longer insert life, fewer stops and better finish quality.
This particular insert is optimised for turning (external/internal) operations due to its trigon geometry and insert size. For milling or drilling you’d typically select a geometry and grade tailored for those applications.
It shines where finishing of shafts, housings, sleeves or mould-core components occurs — industries like automotive, aerospace, die & mould, and general engineering benefit most from the mix of long life + high finish.
