At CNC Tools Depot, we offer a wide selection of SCGT Carbide Inserts, designed for precision turning applications. Known for their 90° cutting edge geometry and excellent chip control, SCGT inserts are ideal for finishing and semi-finishing operations on steels, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, and aluminum alloys.

With premium inserts from leading brands such as Korloy, Widia, Kennametal, Taegutec, and more, CNC Tools Depot ensures machinists get the best tool life, surface finish, and productivity.

🔹 What are SCGT Carbide Inserts?

• Insert Shape (S): Square insert with a 90° cutting edge.

• Relief Angle (C): 7° clearance for sharp, precise cutting.

• Tolerance (G): High precision, suitable for finishing tasks.

• Insert Type (T): Single-sided positive insert for optimized chip evacuation.

The SCGT geometry is optimized for smooth cutting action, making it highly effective in applications where excellent surface finish and reduced cutting forces are required.

🔹 Applications of SCGT Inserts

SCGT carbide inserts are commonly used in:

• Finishing & Semi-finishing operations in CNC turning.

• Aluminum machining – due to their sharp cutting edge and polished rake face.

• Stainless steel & steel alloys – ensuring low vibration and high-quality surface finish.

• Non-ferrous metals – copper, brass, and titanium applications.

• General turning operations where high precision is required.
