CCMT & CNMG Turning inserts: The stable choice for heavy-duty turning.
At CNC In the turning workshop, the one used most often is... CNMG The series' Turning inserts What’s most troubling isn’t whether the knife can cut—it’s whether it can cut for a long time and with stability.
So then CNMG What materials are the blades in this series suitable for machining?
Especially when machining steel parts, stainless steel, and cast iron, even a slight fluctuation in operating conditions can easily cause ordinary cutting blades to experience chipping at the cutting edge, accelerated wear, and poor chip evacuation—leading to dimensional deviations, deteriorated surface roughness, and even the need to rework an entire batch of parts.
If your company is looking for a diamond-shaped carbide insert that’s more durable and impact-resistant, you can choose... CCMT Turning tools and CNMG Lathe tools are often the more worry-free choice. They feature a classic carbide tungsten steel blade structure with a larger cutting-edge angle and higher strength, making them less likely to “give way” under heavy cutting loads—and thus becoming the preferred choice for blades in the lathe tool series.
The most immediate impression many customers of Lizhou Cemented Carbide have after using their products is:
The blade is more chip-resistant.
More stable lifespan
The tool-changing frequency has significantly decreased.
This is LIZHOU cemented carbide, designed for common turning operations such as roughing steel parts, continuous cutting, or intermittent cutting. Depending on the task, we can set the appropriate parameters.
CNMG and CCMT What’s the difference?
1、 CNMG Series turning inserts are better suited for handling heavy cutting forces; whereas in fine finishing, small-part, and light-cutting applications,
2、 CCMT The cutting edge of the turning tool is more flexible, allowing for lighter and smoother cutting, and making it easier to achieve high-quality surface finishes.
Whether it is CNMG Is the tool used for machining iron, stainless steel, or...? CCMT During the finishing process, you can find a suitable matching method right on site.
CNMG and CCMT The selection of the tool groove geometry for turning tools is also crucial. For example:
MA The series is more suitable for stable machining of steel parts and stainless steel.
PV The series is more geared toward efficient rough machining of steel parts, making it a better fit for those seeking higher productivity.
43 The series is more versatile and suitable for machining most steel parts.
TM The series is suitable for semi-finishing, balancing surface quality and efficiency.
HK The series is more suitable for cast iron materials.
Meanwhile, the coating color can also help you quickly select the right blade:
Gray-black universal type suitable for steel and stainless steel;
Bronze is more suitable for hardened steel parts and stainless steel, offering more stable wear resistance.
For users looking to reduce trial-and-error costs, choosing the right one is key. CNMG Cemented carbide blade or CCMT CNC tools are often more effective than repeatedly adjusting parameters.
If you need to make bulk purchases, you can also directly select models by their specifications, for example: CNMG 120408 Blade / CNMG 160608 Blade, or CCMT 09T308 Blade / CCMT 060204 Blade. Choose a stable one. CNMG Blade factory or CCMT Only blade manufacturers can truly achieve “consistent batch quality and peace of mind in use.”
Lizhou blades deliver a more stable cutting edge, helping you reduce chipping and machine downtime, boost efficiency, and make every cut worry-free.
