The Original Korloy DNMG150408-VF NC3120 (ANSI Standard: DNMG 432) is a high-performance 55° diamond insert engineered for precision finishing of Steel (P) and Cast Steel. Featuring the specialized VF (Variable Finishing) chipbreaker, this insert excels at breaking chips in light-duty applications where traditional inserts fail. The NC3120 grade utilizes an advanced CVD coating technology that provides exceptional heat resistance and edge stability, allowing for high cutting speeds while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances.
High-Speed Efficiency: The NC3120 grade is designed for stability and longevity. When your production requires high-velocity steel turning with a focus on surface integrity, the VF geometry ensures a clean, scratch-free finish by managing chip flow away from the workpiece.

Steel Grade Selection: NC3120 vs. PC9030
Choosing the right coating for your material is key to productivity:
Optimized for Steel Turning. The thicker CVD coating allows for much higher cutting speeds and longer tool life in dry machining of carbon steels.
Optimized for Stainless Steel. While versatile, it cannot match the high-speed heat resistance of NC3120 when working exclusively with standard steels.
Machinist's Pro Tip: If you see "blue chips" in steel turning, it's often a sign of healthy heat evacuation. The NC3120 grade is built to thrive in these high-temp zones, whereas PVD grades would wear out much faster.
Packaging: 10 pieces per box.
