What materials are the PC9030 and NC3020/NC3030 grades for?

The PC9030 grade is a good general-purpose choice for machining steel and stainless steel. The NC3020 and NC3030 grades are typically better for the continuous cutting of steel, especially at higher speeds.

Are these double-sided, or do they only have one cutting edge?

These are double-sided inserts, which means you get two cutting edges from each one. Once the first edge is worn, you can flip the insert in the tool holder to use the second fresh edge.

Questions about this product

What's the difference between the SP200, SP300, and SP400 sizes?: The number refers to the width of the insert's cutting edge in millimetres. An SP200 is 2.0mm wide, an SP300 is 3.0mm, and an SP400 is 4.0mm wide, so you can choose the right size for your specific grooving or parting job.

This SP-style carbide insert is for cutting and grooving metal on a lathe. We have different grades for your material. The PVD-coated PC9030 is for stainless steel. The CVD-coated NC3020/NC3030 is for general steel machining. You get a clean cut every time. Features and Benefits - Specific chipbreaker design - It manages chips well. This keeps your work area cleaner and makes the part's surface smoother. - PVD and CVD coatings - These coatings make the tool harder and more heat resistant. This makes the tool last longer and lets you cut faster. - Multiple width options - You can get it in 2mm (SP200), 3mm (SP300), and 4mm (SP400). Choose the size for your grooving needs. - Different material grades - Pick the right coating for your job. NC grades are for steel and general use. PC grade is for stainless steel. Applications - Parting Operations - Use this carbide cut-off insert to cleanly separate a finished part from the main bar stock. - External Grooving - It makes exact O-ring or snap-ring grooves on round parts with steady accuracy. - CNC Production - These CNC carbide inserts wear consistently and perform reliably for automated machining runs.
