Description
CARBIDE TURNING INSERTS WNMX
WNMX carbide turning inserts are double-sided, negative-rake, 80° trigon-shaped inserts featuring a neutral (0°) rake angle. These inserts are designed for medium to heavy-duty turning operations, offering multiple cutting edges and cost-effective performance. WNMX inserts are suitable for machining steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys.
Manufactured from cemented carbide (WC-Co) and often CVD or PVD coated (e.g., TiN, TiCN, Al₂O₃, TiAlN), WNMX inserts provide thermal stability, durability, and long tool life, ensuring reliable performance in various cutting conditions.

Materials & Applications
WNMX carbide inserts are optimized for operations requiring multiple cutting edges, cost-effective performance, and medium to heavy-duty cutting conditions.
Typical Workpiece Materials:
• Steel (carbon and alloy) — suitable for medium to heavy-duty turning
• Cast Iron (gray and ductile) — effective with appropriate grades for stability and chip control
• Non-Ferrous Metals — select the correct grade/coating for thermal and wear resistance
Common Operations:
• Medium to heavy-duty turning operations
• General-purpose machining where multiple cutting edges are beneficial
• External and internal turning requiring trigon insert geometry
• Applications balancing tool life and cost-effectiveness

Advantages & Performance
• Multiple Cutting Edges: Double-sided design offers up to 6 usable cutting edges, reducing cost per part
• Stable Cutting Edge: Neutral rake angle provides strength and stability during medium to heavy-duty cuts
• Versatile Use: Suitable across a wide range of materials (ISO P, M, K groups) with correct grade selection
• Cost-Effective: Multiple indexable edges reduce tool change frequency and overall tooling costs
• Balanced Performance: Offers a compromise between tool life and surface quality in general-purpose machining
