CCMT FOR CAST IRON
CCMT FOR CAST IRON
Cargo Carbide CCMT Cast Iron Grade Insert is a compact indexable carbide turning insert designed for CNC machining of cast iron components. Its CCMT geometry provides a positive-style cutting configuration that is well suited to light turning, finishing, profiling, and applications where a freer cutting action is desirable.
The CCMT shape is particularly useful for smaller components and machining operations requiring good tool accessibility. When matched with an appropriate cast-iron grade, the insert can be used for external turning, facing, profiling, and finishing of suitable cast components.
Its indexable construction allows the cutting edge to be replaced without changing the complete tool holder. This makes the CCMT format convenient for CNC production environments where repeatability and quick tooling changes are important.
For optimum machining results, the insert grade and cutting parameters should be selected according to the cast iron type, component geometry, depth of cut, feed rate, cutting speed, and machine rigidity.
