Applications
Thanks to its edge-stable round shape, the RCMT insert is predestined for profile turning, contour turning, and machining complex freeform surfaces on steel components. It confidently handles medium machining stages and delivers reproducible results in continuous to light interrupted cuts. Whether in mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, or general contract manufacturing, this cutting insert offers flexible application possibilities for demanding workpiece contours.
Special features
A key advantage of this insert type is the size-dependent grade optimization. While the smaller sizes (08-12) are equipped with the two-color RT250+ P20-P30 CVD coating, the larger versions (16-20) feature the highly resilient RT250P P25-TiALN coating. Both variations ensure excellent heat resistance and wear protection. Furthermore, the round geometry promotes a smooth distribution of cutting forces, ensuring consistently high process reliability throughout its service life.
