At CNC Tools Depot, the world’s largest marketplace for carbide inserts and cutting tools, we offer a wide selection of W (80° Trigon) Carbide Inserts from leading brands such as Korloy, Widia, Kennametal, Taegutec, and more. Known for their unique trigon shape with an 80° cutting angle, these inserts deliver exceptional performance in turning, facing, and interrupted cutting operations.

🔹 What are W (80° Trigon) Carbide Inserts?

W (80° Trigon) inserts are triangular-shaped turning inserts with a modified 80° corner angle. Unlike standard triangular inserts, the trigon shape provides extra strength and stability at the cutting edge, making them ideal for heavy-duty machining and interrupted cuts.

They are widely used in CNC lathes and turning centers across industries such as automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, and general engineering.

🔹 Key Features of W (80° Trigon) Inserts

• 80° corner angle for added strength and durability

• Capable of handling roughing and finishing operations

• Excellent for interrupted cuts and heavy machining

• Multiple cutting edges per insert for cost efficiency

• Suitable for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and super alloys

🔹 Applications of W (80° Trigon) Inserts

These inserts are versatile and can be used in a wide range of machining processes:

• Turning: General purpose external and internal turning.

• Facing: Achieves precise flat surfaces.

• Interrupted Cuts: Performs well in tough conditions where the cutting edge engages/disengages frequently.

• Heavy Roughing: Handles high cutting forces due to its strong geometry.

• Finishing Operations: Provides stable cutting and smooth surface finish.

🔹 Types of W (80° Trigon) Carbide Inserts

W inserts are available in various chipbreaker styles, coatings, and grades depending on the application:

1. Uncoated W Inserts – Best for non-ferrous materials.

2. CVD Coated W Inserts – High wear resistance for steel and cast iron.

3. PVD Coated W Inserts – Superior edge strength for stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys.

4. Positive Rake W Inserts – Lower cutting forces, suitable for finishing.

5. Negative Rake W Inserts – Stronger edge for heavy-duty roughing.

6. Specialized Grades – Optimized for specific materials like hardened steel or super alloys.
