The Original Korloy DCMT070204-HMP NC3220 (ANSI Standard: DCMT 21.51) represents the next generation of Steel (P) and Carbon Steel turning efficiency. Building on the success of the universal NC3120, the NC3220 grade features an enhanced CVD coating structure that provides superior thermal stability and flank wear resistance. Combined with the precision HMP chipbreaker, this insert is a high-performance workhorse for small CNC lathes and Swiss-type machines, ensuring maximum tool life in both continuous and slightly unstable cutting conditions.
Next-Gen Productivity: NC3220 is designed to bridge the gap between high-speed wear resistance and impact toughness. It allows for longer run times and higher reliability compared to traditional steel grades, reducing tool change frequency in automated production.
Technical Specifications:

Upgrade Guide: NC3220 vs. NC3120
Should you switch to the new generation?
Choose this for Higher Efficiency & Longer Life. It is the evolution of steel grades, offering better heat resistance and a more stable cutting edge for modern high-speed CNCs.
The Traditional Choice. Reliable and proven, but lacks the advanced coating advancements of the NC3220 series for high-speed wear resistance.
Machinist's Pro Tip: If you are experiencing "crater wear" on top of the insert due to high heat, NC3220 is the specific solution designed to solve that problem.
Packaging: 10 pieces per box.
