1. Product Overview
"Which indexable turning insert provides maximum edge toughness and thermal shock resistance for heavy steel roughing and interrupted turning operations?" CNC machinists and manufacturing engineers regularly select the KORLOY SNMG150612-GR NC3030. This industrial-grade turning insert pairs a robust NC3030 CVD-coated carbide substrate with a specially designed -GR heavy roughing chipbreaker geometry, ensuring smooth chip evacuation, high thermal stability, and reliable tool life across carbon steel, alloy steel, and cast components. Built on a sturdy 90° square negative outline with 8 indexable cutting edges and a dependable 1.2mm corner radius, it delivers maximum productivity and cost-per-edge efficiency under rigorous shop floor conditions.
2. Product Key Features
- NC3030 CVD Coated Grade: Formulated with a tough carbide substrate and an advanced multi-layer CVD coating optimized for general steel roughing, providing excellent fracture toughness and wear resistance.
- -GR Chipbreaker & 1.2mm Radius: Features an optimized wide-groove geometry for high feed rates and deep depths of cut, complemented by a sturdy 1.2mm corner radius to resist edge chipping.
- Double-Sided Indexable Economy: Square negative configuration offers 8 total indexable cutting edges (4 per side), maximizing per-edge cost efficiency.
- Standard Industrial Packaging: Supplied in protective factory containers containing 10 pieces for efficient toolcrib inventory management.
