Built to the C12 W08 insert style, it features a 0.47-inch cutting width and a TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride) coating that provides heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The MT7 manufacturer grade designation indicates a submicron carbide substrate, delivering the edge toughness and wear resistance required for consistent performance in production environments. This insert is right-hand oriented and suited for machinists and toolroom professionals running tight-tolerance groove profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for use on external grooving applications where a 0.47-inch groove width is required. The maximum depth of cut ranges from 0.000 to 0.075 inches, making it suitable for shallow precision grooves in steel, stainless, and other materials compatible with TiAlN-coated carbide tooling. It is a single-use, non-reversible insert configured for right-hand cutting direction. Typical installation is in a compatible C12 W08 insert holder mounted on a CNC or manual lathe turret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with submicron material grade for superior hardness and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiAlN coating provides thermal barrier and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.47-inch cutting width for consistent, repeatable groove profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut up to 0.075 inches for shallow external groove applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.004-inch corner radius for controlled edge geometry at groove shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting orientation for standard lathe setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with C12 W08 style grooving toolholders.

Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the holder pocket and torque the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert edge for chips or damage before each use, as carbide inserts are brittle and should never be forced into a misaligned pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: C12 W08\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.47 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.031 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.000 to 0.075 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Submicron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: MT7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-use Tool\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CARMEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C12W08MT7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CARMEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52002993209650,"sku":"C12W08MT7","price":209.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1216a3bfdd9923717dfa5da2e57fbb34.jpg?v=1789998499","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/carmex-c12w08mt7-grooving-insert-0-47-in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
