8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What are the main advantages of using the NC3020 grade for steel turning?
A: NC3020 features a balanced PVD coating structure designed to offer superior wear resistance and thermal stability during high-speed finishing operations on carbon and alloy steels.
Q: How many inserts are included in each factory package?
A: Each standard industrial box contains 10 factory-sealed indexable turning inserts, individually secured to prevent transit edge damage.
Q: Why select a 0.2mm corner radius (-02) instead of a 0.8mm radius for fine boring?
A: The 0.2mm corner radius reduces radial cutting forces and prevents chatter, making it ideal for tight internal profiling and light finishing passes where smaller radii are required.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
When choosing CNC cutting tools, check the full model code, dimensions, grade and selected variant before ordering. Do not rely on the product image alone.
For carbide inserts, tool holders, drills and end mills, compare the mounting dimensions, connection type and manufacturer's specifications with your holder or machine. If you are unsure, share your existing part number and machining application with us before ordering.
Check the product listing for the selling unit, pack quantity and included components. If it is unclear whether the price is per piece or per pack, or whether a tool body and inserts are sold separately, contact us before purchasing.
Select cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using the relevant manufacturer's recommendations for your tool model, workpiece material, machine conditions and coolant method. The same settings are not suitable for every product or application.
