Carbide Turning Inserts – CNMG, TNMG, VNMG, VBMT and DNMG

Turning inserts are the highest consumption tooling item on any CNC lathe, and the one where standardising on a grade that behaves consistently saves more than chasing the lowest price per piece. Dhankuber Traders stocks the five turning insert shapes that cover virtually all external turning work, all in the PC9030 grade with the HM chipbreaker.

PC9030 is a PVD coated grade in the ISO M25 to M35 range, built for medium and heavy roughing with interrupted cutting in stainless steel, with strong resistance to chipping and welding. It also performs well across general steel work, which is why it is the right single grade for a shop running mixed materials.
