DNMG Turning Inserts: The CNC Machinist’s Preferred Choice for Versatile Lathe Operations
Yesterday I posted about General Turning Insert Nomenclature . I have used multiple turning insert in the cnc workshop. With the passage of time in the cnc workshop the turning insert which I used most or you might say that the general turning insert which can be used for most of the lathe machine operations is DNMG Turning Insert
.
DNMG Turning Insert comes in multiple standard sizes and different insert cutting nose radius. Some are listed below
General Turning Insert DNMG
- DNMG 110404
- DNMG 110408
- DNMG 110412
- DNMG 150404
- DNMG 150408
- DNMG 150412
- DNMG 150604
- DNMG 150608
- DNMG 150612
- DNMG 150616
I personally like DNMG 150616, because this insert is solid (6 mm insert height) and is with a bigger radius of 1.6mm.
Another plus point of DNMG type turning insert is its shape it is a D shape turning insert, meaning that it is a perfect choice for grooving and long profile turning.
When we come to grooving there are multiple choices like DCMT turning insert, and VBMM turning insert.
If I compare VBMM 160404 and DNMG 110404. I will prefer DNMG 110404 because of it’s solid shape as long as the insert angle of DNMG which is 55° don’t restrict me.
But sometimes DNMG loses the game against VBMM when the groove is too narrow and deep.
