WNMM

🛠️ WNMM Carbide Inserts – Overview

WNMM inserts are 80° diamond-shaped, negative-rake carbide inserts specifically designed for heavy-duty turning operations. Known for their durability, versatility, and excellent chip-breaking performance, WNMM inserts are widely used in machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys.

At CNC Tools Depot, we stock a comprehensive range of WNMM carbide inserts from world-class brands including Korloy, Widia, Kennametal, Taegutec, Mitsubishi, Sandvik, and Iscar.


🔑 Key Features of WNMM Inserts

  • Insert Shape: Diamond (80° included angle, negative rake)

  • Cutting Edges: Multiple usable edges for extended tool life

  • Strength: Strong geometry for heavy-duty cutting

  • Applications: External turning, facing, and roughing operations

  • Versatility: Available in various coatings (CVD, PVD, TiN, TiAlN) for different materials


⚙️ Applications of WNMM Carbide Inserts

  • General Turning: Ideal for medium to heavy-duty turning operations

  • Roughing: Excellent for removing large material stock with high feed rates

  • Hard Steel Machining: Coated WNMM inserts provide longer tool life in hard-to-cut materials

  • Cast Iron & Stainless Steel: Optimized chip control for clean surface finish

  • High-Speed Cutting: Maintains cutting edge integrity even under high heat conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

WNMM indicates an 80° diamond-shaped, negative-rake turning insert with multiple cutting edges.

Both have an 80° diamond shape, but WNMM inserts are typically flat (no hole/chipbreaker designation), while WNMG includes chip-breaking geometry and a hole for secure clamping.

They can cut steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and hardened steels depending on the grade.

Yes, WNMM inserts are ideal for roughing and semi-finishing due to their strength.

Yes, available in CVD and PVD coatings for wear resistance, and uncoated for softer materials.

Absolutely. WNMM inserts are widely used in CNC turning centers and manual lathes.

Typically 6 to 8 cutting edges, depending on the insert’s design.

They are usually top-clamped or wedge-clamped into tool holders.

Yes, especially the coated and chipbreaker-designed variants, which ensure smooth chip evacuation.
