🛠️ WNMG Carbide Inserts – The Ultimate Choice for Heavy-Duty Turning

At CNC Tools Depot, we bring you the largest selection of WNMG carbide inserts from world-renowned brands including Korloy, Widia, Kennametal, Taegutec, Mitsubishi, Sandvik, and more.

WNMG inserts are double-sided, negative-rake, 80° diamond-shaped inserts designed for general-purpose and heavy-duty turning applications. They are highly versatile and deliver exceptional chip control, longer tool life, and excellent surface finish.


🔹 What Does WNMG Mean? (ISO Insert Code Explanation)

  • W – Insert Shape: Trigon (80° diamond shape, double-sided)

  • N – Clearance Angle: 0° (Negative rake, double-sided cutting edges)

  • M – Tolerance Class: Medium (general turning)

  • G – Special Features: Chip breaker or geometry for better chip evacuation

This makes WNMG inserts perfect for high-strength machining with efficient material removal.


🔹 Applications of WNMG Inserts

WNMG inserts are widely used in CNC lathes and turning centers for:

  • General Turning – Ideal for medium to roughing operations

  • Heavy-Duty Cutting – Handles interrupted and continuous cuts efficiently

  • Material-Specific Machining

    • Steel (P) – Rough to finish turning with toughness

    • Stainless Steel (M) – Better chip evacuation & wear resistance

    • Cast Iron (K) – High stability for rigid machining

    • Super Alloys & Hardened Materials (S/H) – With advanced coatings


🔹 Types of WNMG Inserts (By Geometry & Chip Breaker)

  • WNMG080408 – General turning insert for steel & stainless

  • WNMG080412 – Larger depth of cut, strong cutting edge

  • WNMG060404 – For fine finishing

  • WNMG with Chip Breakers (e.g., WF, PM, MM) – Optimized chip evacuation based on material

  • Coatings – TiN, TiCN, Al2O3, CVD, PVD for extended tool life

Frequently Asked Questions

WNMG inserts are used for general turning and roughing operations on steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.

They are negative-rake inserts with 6 cutting edges per insert, offering cost efficiency and longer usage.

Yes, with the right chip breaker geometry, WNMG inserts can perform both finishing and roughing.

It refers to the insert size, thickness, corner radius, and cutting edge length as per ISO standards.

CVD-coated WNMG inserts (TiCN + Al2O3) are best for high-speed steel turning.

Both are popular; WNMG has 6 cutting edges, while CNMG has 4. WNMG provides more economy per insert.

They require WNMG-compatible tool holders with the correct clamping system.

Yes, their robust geometry makes them suitable for interrupted and heavy cuts.

Usually, a 95° lead angle tool holder is used with WNMG inserts.
