TaeguTec Negative Turning Inserts — CNMG / WNMG / TNMG / DNMG (202 SKUs)
Browse the CNCHome-Beyond TaeguTec negative turning insert catalog — 202 genuine carbide inserts in 6 industry-standard ISO 1832 geometries with 0° negative clearance (double-sided inserts with up to 8 cutting edges per insert). Main geometries include CNMG (80° rhombic), WNMG (80° trigon), TNMG (60° trigon), and DNMG (55° rhombic), plus VNMG and SNMG. All inserts are sourced directly from TaeguTec's authorized Korean production line (Daegu, IMC Group sister company to Iscar since 1989) and shipped from our Hangzhou warehouse at 30–50% below OEM list price. TT9030 (PVD TiAlN, stainless) and TT8020 (PVD TiN, steel) grades available. ISO 1832 standard sizing — dimensionally interchangeable with Sandvik, Mitsubishi, KORLOY, and Tungaloy equivalent inserts.
4 Main ISO Negative Geometries in This Catalog
| Geometry Code | Shape & Edges | Best For | Common Tool Holders |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNMG | 80° rhombic, 0° negative, double-sided (8 cutting edges) | Universal external turning; heavy roughing on steel & stainless (most common negative geometry) | PCLNR/L, MCLNR/L, DCLNR/L |
| WNMG | 80° trigon, 0° negative, double-sided (6 cutting edges) | General roughing; strong radial; high feed rates | PWLNR/L, MWLNR/L, DWLNR/L |
| TNMG | 60° trigon, 0° negative, double-sided (6 cutting edges) | Profiling, taper turning, internal boring; stronger radial than CNMG | PTFNR/L, MTFNR/L, DTFNR/L (external); MTUNR/L boring bars (internal) |
| DNMG | 55° rhombic, 0° negative, double-sided (8 cutting edges) | Profiling, copy turning; stronger radial reach than CNMG | PDJNR/L, MDJNR/L, DDJNR/L |
Negative vs Positive Turning — When to Use Each
Negative Inserts (this collection)
0° negative rake — strong cutting edge
- Strong edge geometry, higher load tolerance
- Best for heavy roughing & interrupted cuts
- Best for high-rigidity machine tools
- Higher feed rates possible (0.3-0.5 mm/rev)
- Larger IC = more cutting edge options
- Double-sided = 2x more cutting edges per insert (8 vs 4)
- Lower cost per edge (more edges to use)
Positive Inserts (sibling collection)
7° positive rake — sharp cutting edge
- Low cutting force
- Low power consumption
- Best for thin-walled parts & low-rigidity setups
- Best for finishing passes & small parts
- Best for Swiss-type / sliding-head lathes
- Smaller IC = lower load per tooth
TaeguTec Grade Cross-Reference
| TaeguTec Grade | Coating | ISO Application | Recommended For | Equivalent In |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TT9030 | TiAlN PVD | M15–M25 stainless, S15–S25 high-temp alloys | Stainless steel & Inconel turning (best wear resistance) | Mitsubishi US7020, Sandvik GC2040, KORLOY PC9030 |
| TT8020 | TiN PVD | P15–P25 steel | General carbon steel & alloy steel turning (most popular grade) | Mitsubishi VP15TF, Sandvik GC4325, KORLOY NC3030 |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between TaeguTec CNMG and WNMG negative turning inserts?
A: Both are 80° negative-geometry inserts, but with different edge counts. CNMG is rhombic (diamond) with 4 corners on each face × 2 faces = 8 cutting edges per insert. WNMG is trigon (triangle) with 3 corners on each face × 2 faces = 6 cutting edges per insert. CNMG gives you the most cutting edges per insert (lowest cost per edge). WNMG has a stronger point geometry for heavier roughing at higher feed rates.
Q: When should I use a negative insert (CNMG / WNMG / TNMG) instead of a positive insert (CCMT / DCMT / VBMT / TCMT)?
A: Use a negative insert when you need high feed rates, heavy roughing, interrupted cuts, and a high-rigidity machine tool. Use a positive insert for low cutting force, thin-walled parts, finishing, and low-rigidity setups. Negative inserts are double-sided (2x the cutting edges per insert) and have stronger edge geometry. Positive inserts are single-sided with lower force but less edge count.
Q: What TaeguTec grade should I use for stainless steel turning?
A: Use TT9030 (PVD TiAlN) for stainless steel turning. TT9030 is TaeguTec's premium stainless grade, equivalent to Sandvik GC2040 and Mitsubishi US7020. For general carbon steel, use TT8020 (PVD TiN). For cast iron turning, TaeguTec offers TT6080 and TT7400 grades (not in this collection — see the TaeguTec master catalog).
Q: Are TaeguTec negative inserts interchangeable with Sandvik or Mitsubishi?
A: Yes — CNMG, WNMG, TNMG, and DNMG are ISO 1832 standard geometries, so TaeguTec inserts are dimensionally interchangeable with Sandvik, Mitsubishi, Iscar, and KORLOY equivalents. The insert pocket geometry, IC size, and clearance angle are identical across brands. You can switch brands without changing the tool holder.
