🛠️ What are WCMT Carbide Inserts?

WCMT carbide inserts are trigon-shaped (80° diamond with positive geometry) indexable inserts widely used in turning, facing, and general machining applications. They provide superior chip control, longer tool life, and excellent surface finish.

These inserts are compatible with a wide range of tool holders and are available in multiple grades and coatings for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials.

🔹 Applications of WCMT Carbide Inserts

WCMT inserts are designed for:

• General Turning Operations – roughing and finishing.

• Facing and Profiling – creating precise surface finishes.

• Copy Turning – machining curved surfaces with accuracy.

• Interrupted Cutting – effective performance under tough machining conditions.

• High-Speed CNC Turning – optimized for efficiency and productivity.

🔹 Types of WCMT Carbide Inserts

1. Uncoated WCMT Inserts

   • Best for soft materials and light machining.

2. CVD Coated WCMT Inserts

   • Designed for high wear resistance when machining steels and cast iron.

3. PVD Coated WCMT Inserts

   • Excellent for stainless steel and non-ferrous alloys, with improved edge toughness.

4. Different Chipbreakers

   • WCMT-P → For steel

   • WCMT-M → For stainless steel

   • WCMT-K → For cast iron

   • WCMT-AL → For aluminum and non-ferrous

🔹 Advantages of WCMT Inserts

• Longer tool life with advanced coatings.

• Easy indexing with multiple cutting edges.

• Superior chip evacuation.

• Versatile applications across different materials.

• Cost-effective compared to solid carbide tools.
