Advantages of stainless steel lathe tool CNMG120408-MS\MA
Stainless steel is a common processing material.
It has high strength and ductility, but it is prone to chip adhesion and built-up edge during cutting, leading to faster tool wear and poorer surface roughness. To process stainless steel stably and efficiently, a blade specifically designed for it must be chosen.
At this time, CNMG120408-MS/MA Stainless steel dedicated Turning blade Just meets these processing challenges.

What is CNMG120408-MS / CNMG120408-MA ?
Let's briefly introduce the model structure:
C :The blade shape is rhombus, and the tip angle is 80° ,high strength and versatility
N : 0° Back rake angle design, cutting is more stable
M :Medium precision grade, suitable for most general processing scenarios
G :Indicates that it has holes and is double-sided ground
120408 :Indicates that the size is the side length 12mm 、thickness 4.76mm 、nose radius 0.8mm
MS / MA :Indicates two different chip breaker types suitable for stainless steel:
MS :Medium load, smooth chip removal, suitable for continuous cutting
MA :Light load cutting, smaller cutting force, suitable for processing thinner or smaller parts

CNMG120408-MS/MA Core advantages
1. Specifically designed for stainless steel, solving the problem of blade sticking
Stainless steel is easy to form “ Built-up edge ” ”, causing the blade to fail prematurely.
CNMG-MS/MA The blade uses a special chip breaker design to effectively control the chip shape, Reduce chip adhesion and built-up edge phenomenon ,improve the surface quality of processing.
2. Advanced coating, wear-resistant and heat-resistant
We usually equip this type of blade with PVD TiAlN 、 TiCN Or nano-coating ,with excellent thermal stability and lubricity.
Under high-temperature conditions in stainless steel processing, it still Keeps the tip sharp ,extending tool life.
3. Light and fast cutting, reducing machine load
MS/MA The chip breaker can effectively control the cutting resistance, and the blade cuts smoothly, Very suitable for medium-speed feed processing of CNC lathes ,especially suitable for processing 304、316、321 Austenitic stainless steel.
4. Six cutting edges can be used, economical and practical
CNMG is a kind of Double-sided rhombus blade ,each blade can be used 6 cutting edges (each side 3 个), longer service life, higher cost performance, especially suitable for mass production enterprises.

That TNMG What materials is it more suitable for?
Many customers will also take TNMG and CNMG Compare. Let's make a simple comparison:
Blade structure | Number of cutting edges | Back rake angle | Applicable materials | Features | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CNMG | Rhombus | 6 6 | 0° | Stainless steel, alloy steel, cast iron | High stability, suitable for rough - Semi-finishing |
TNMG | Triangle | 6 6 | 0° | Steel parts, quenched steel, ordinary structural steel | Suitable for light load, fine machining scenarios |
If you want to turn stainless steel, pursue smooth chip removal, and stable cutting, then CNMG120408-MS/MA Is obviously more suitable.
Why choose CNMG120408-MS/MA Processing stainless steel?
It allows for smooth chip evacuation, reducing the problem of tool sticking.
It offers light and fast cutting, resulting in more stable machining.
It is durable and saves on tool change costs.
It comes from a professional factory, ensuring stable quality and fast delivery.
Whether you are performing batch processing or pursuing surface precision, CNMG120408-MS/MA it is a reliable choice for your stainless steel machining!
