MGMN150-G
MG – Refers to the insert family for grooving and parting.
MN – Indicates medium cutting width with negative rake design.
150 – Stands for a nominal cutting width of 1.50 mm, ideal for narrow grooves and precise parting.
G – Denotes a ground cutting edge, providing superior sharpness and improved surface finish.
MRMN200-M
MR – Insert family specialized for grooving/parting with enhanced rigidity.
MN – Medium geometry with negative rake for stable cutting.
200 – Corresponds to a nominal cutting width of 2.00 mm, suitable for slightly wider grooves.
M – Stands for medium cutting conditions, balancing cutting forces and tool life.

3. Performance Advantages of Lizhou Carbide Inserts
High Wear Resistance
Manufactured from premium micro-grain carbide substrate, these inserts resist abrasive wear even under demanding cutting conditions.
Excellent Chip Control
Specially designed chip breakers ensure smooth evacuation of chips, preventing re-cutting, chatter, or tool damage.
Precision Ground Cutting Edges
Both MGMN150-G and MRMN200-M feature sharp, ground edges that reduce cutting forces and improve surface finish.
Stable Machining
Negative rake geometry improves insert strength, ensuring stable machining even in interrupted cuts.
Extended Tool Life
Advanced CVD/PVD coatings provide resistance against heat and chemical wear, extending insert lifespan significantly.
Versatility
Compatible with a wide range of tool holders, enabling efficient use in lathes, CNC machines, and high-speed production systems.
4. Applications and Use Cases
MGMN150-G (1.5mm)
Precision parting-off operations in bar stock.
Narrow grooves in automotive parts, such as piston rings or transmission components.
Ideal for thin-wall machining where cutting width must be minimized to reduce material waste.
MRMN200-M (2.0mm)
General-purpose grooving and parting for shafts, tubes, and bearing seats.
Suitable for medium-duty operations where balance between cutting speed and insert durability is required.
Extensively used in aerospace, oil & gas, and general engineering.

End mill for machining aluminum materials
Many customers have told us that ordinary end mills frequently stick when machining aluminum, and the accumulation of chips affects the accuracy, so they always change the tools. LIZHOU editor suggests that coated end mills are not recommended for aluminum materials, because some coatings contain aluminum elements. Therefore, it is better to choose uncoated end mills when selecting end mills for machining aluminum materials.
