Kyocera CC / CP 80° Diamond Positive Inserts — CCMT, CCGT, CPMH Carbide Turning
Kyocera 80° diamond positive inserts manufactured to ISO 1832 standards using Kyocera's full grade system (PR930, PR1125, PR1535, TN60, TN620, PV720, CA5515, CA5525, CA6525, CA4515). The CC/CP 80° positive-rake geometry provides lower cutting forces than negative inserts, making it the preferred geometry for thin sections, small diameters, and Swiss-type lathes.
This catalog covers 93 Kyocera SKUs across CCMT (56, molded chipbreaker), CCGT (31, ground sharp), and CPMH (6, HQ-chipbreaker) geometries. Ten grade families are available — drop-in compatible with Kyocera's PR series (CVD steel), TN series (cermet), PV series (PVD), and CA series (CVD stainless/cast iron).

Kyocera-Original Inserts from Japan
All 93 inserts in this catalog are 100% genuine Kyocera — manufactured by Kyocera Corporation in Kyoto, Japan. Each insert is sourced through Kyocera's authorized distribution channels and ships in original Kyocera factory packaging with full Kyocera grade and lot traceability. Kyocera's premium carbide substrates, CVD/PVD coatings, and edge-preparation processes are specified across the full PR / TN / PV / CA grade families — providing the consistent performance and reliability that has made Kyocera the leading Japanese cutting-tool brand.
About CC / CP 80° Diamond Positive Inserts
The CC 80° diamond (rhombic) positive geometry with 7° positive rake provides lowest cutting forces among standard turning geometries. With 4 usable cutting edges per insert, a wide 80° point angle, and a positive rake that reduces radial forces, CC inserts are ideal for:
- Thin-walled components — minimum deflection on flexible workpieces
- Small-diameter turning — Swiss-type lathes, watchmaking, medical components
- Long slender shafts — L/D ratios above 10:1 where chatter is a concern
- Aluminum and non-ferrous — positive rake prevents BUE on soft materials
- Finishing operations — sharper cutting edges and lower heat generation
The CC family includes three sub-designations:
- CCMT — molded chipbreaker with 80° point and 7° positive rake. The most versatile CC style for general-purpose work. (56 SKUs in our catalog)
- CCGT — ground sharp edge with positive rake. Tighter tolerances for finishing operations. (31 SKUs in our catalog)
- CPMH — CPMT-style with HQ (high-feed) chipbreaker. 6 SKUs in our catalog.
Kyocera Corporation (Kyoto, Japan) is one of the world's leading manufacturers of CNC cutting tools, with over 60 years of tooling expertise. The Kyocera PR series (CVD-coated steel), TN series (cermet), PV series (PVD-coated stainless), and CA series (CVD stainless / cast iron) represent decades of grade development — each grade optimized for specific ISO application ranges and cutting conditions.

How to Choose the Right Kyocera CC / CP Insert
Selecting the correct CC 80° diamond positive insert involves four decisions:
- Material → Grade: Steel → PR930 / PR1125 / PR1535. Stainless → CA5525 / CA6525 / PV720. Cast iron → CA4515 / CA5515. Aluminum → TN60 (uncoated cermet). Steel finishing → TN60 / TN620 (cermet).
- Operation → Chipbreaker: General turning → GK. Heavy / high-feed → HQ. Sharp aluminum finishing → F edge prep (CCGT). Slight-hone steel finishing → U edge prep (CCGT).
- IC size → Tool holder: IC 3.175 mm → Swiss-type micro holders. IC 6.35 mm → standard SCLCR/L 06 holders. IC 9.525 mm → SCLCR/L 09 holders. IC 12.7 mm → SCLCR/L 12 holders.
- Hand → Lathe configuration: R-hand inserts are standard for most lathes. L-hand inserts needed for Swiss-type or dual-direction turning. CCGT inserts come in EL/ER/FL/FR variants for full flexibility.
Tip: For general steel work, start with CCMT120404GK PR930. For aluminum, use CCGT09T302ER-U TN60 cermet. For stainless, start with CCMT09T308HQ CA5525.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these genuine Kyocera inserts or Kyocera authorized Kyocera distributor?
Yes — all 93 products in this catalog are 100% genuine Kyocera originals manufactured by Kyocera Corporation in Kyoto, Japan. Each insert ships in original Kyocera factory packaging with full traceability. Kyocera's grade designations (PR930, TN60, CA5525, etc.) are industry-standard references backed by decades of carbide substrate and coating development.
What is the difference between CCMT and CCGT?
CCMT and CCGT are both 80° diamond positive inserts with 7° positive rake, but differ in manufacturing precision:
- CCMT — molded chipbreaker on top. Cost-effective for general turning operations where the molded chipbreaker geometry controls chip flow.
- CCGT — ground precision edge without chipbreaker. Tighter tolerances (±0.025 mm vs ±0.13 mm for CCMT) for finishing and aluminum work where sharp edges matter.
Use CCMT for general steel/stainless work; use CCGT for aluminum, cermet finishing, and precision applications.
What is the difference between PR930, PR1125, and PR1535?
All three are Kyocera's CVD-coated P-grades for steel turning, but with different operating ranges:
- PR930 — most versatile, P10-P30. The standard choice for general steel turning.
- PR1125 — P10-P25. Optimized for high-speed steel turning with sharper cutting edge.
- PR1535 — P20-P35. Thicker coating for tougher steel and interrupted-cut conditions.
Choose PR930 for general work, PR1125 for high-speed finishing, PR1535 for tough conditions.
Why use a positive insert instead of a negative insert?
Positive inserts (CC, DC, TC, VB, etc.) provide several advantages over negative inserts:
- Lower cutting forces — the 7° positive rake reduces radial forces by 30-50%
- Better for thin sections — minimizes workpiece deflection and chatter
- Sharper cutting edges — ground variants (CCGT, DCGT) have minimal edge prep
- Lower power consumption — spindle draws less current at the same feed rate
Drawbacks: positive inserts have weaker cutting-edge strength than negative inserts and are not recommended for heavy roughing or interrupted cuts. Choose positive for finishing, thin sections, and Swiss-type work; choose negative (CNMG, DNMG, etc.) for heavy roughing.
What tool holder do I need for CC/CP inserts?
CC 80° diamond positive inserts (with 7° positive rake) require positive-rake tool holders. Common holders include:
- SCLCR/L — screw-clamp external holders, the most common
- SCLPR/L — pin-lock external holders
- SCBCR/L — boring bars for internal turning
- SDJCR/L — for SDJC inserts (similar CC geometry)
Browse our turning tool holder catalog for compatible options.
What is TN60 cermet and when should I use it?
TN60 is Kyocera's TiC/TiN cermet grade — a ceramic-metal composite used uncoated for finishing operations on:
- Steel — achieves Ra 0.4-0.8 µm surface finish at low-to-medium speeds (100-200 m/min)
- Aluminum and non-ferrous — uncoated cermet prevents BUE (built-up edge) on soft metals
- Cast iron — finishing at low speeds with high wear resistance
Avoid TN60 on interrupted cuts, stainless steel, or heavy roughing — these applications need tougher coated carbide (CA5525, PR1535) instead.
