The Original Korloy RCGT0602MO-AK H01 is a high-precision Round (RCGT) Carbide Insert specifically engineered for the high-speed turning of Aluminum, Copper, and Non-Ferrous Metals. Featuring the H01 Grade—a mirror-polished, un-coated carbide—this insert provides an ultra-sharp cutting edge that prevents material welding. The -AK chipbreaker is world-renowned for its ability to manage stringy aluminum chips, ensuring a flawless surface finish on decorative and functional components alike.
Mirror Finish Advantage: The H01 grade's polished surface reduces friction to near-zero levels. This is essential for non-ferrous machining to prevent "Built-up Edge" (BUE), allowing for much higher cutting speeds and longer tool life in aluminum alloys.
Technical Specifications:
| Brand | Korloy (100% Genuine) |
| ISO Code | RCGT0602MO-AK |
| Insert Shape | Round (RC) |
| Diameter | 6.0 mm |
| Grade | H01 (Uncoated Mirror-Polished Carbide) |
Core Performance Benefits:
- Ultra-Sharp Cutting Edge: The AK-geometry provides an aggressive rake angle that shears through soft metals like butter, reducing power consumption.
- Exceptional Chip Control: The high-rake -AK chipbreaker curl and break aluminum chips effectively, preventing "bird-nesting" around the spindle.
- Round Insert Strength: The circular shape allows for 360-degree edge utilization (by rotating the insert) and handles high radial forces during profiling.
- Universal Non-Ferrous Choice: Perfect for 6061/7075 Aluminum, Pure Copper, Brass, and even Engineering Plastics (Delrin, Acetal).
Recommended Cutting Parameters:
| Material Group | Cutting Speed (Vc) | Feed Rate (f) |
|---|---|---|

Machinist Tip: H01 vs. Coated Grades
When choosing an insert for aluminum, the "uncoated" H01 is often superior to coated versions:
Pure Sharpness. Because there is no coating "rounding off" the edge, H01 is much sharper. This is the secret to achieving a true mirror finish and avoiding "smearing" on soft aluminum.
The Abrasive Choice. Use coated grades only for high-silicon aluminum (ADC12) or composites. For standard 6061/7075 aluminum, H01 will provide a cleaner cut.
Pro Advice: For RCGT0602MO-AK, high cutting speeds are your friend. If you see material sticking to the edge, increase your RPM. The round shape is also fantastic for ramping and copying complex curves.
Packaging: 10 pieces per box.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.
We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:
- For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
- For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:
- For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
- For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
