It conforms to ANSI insert code RCGW215 and ISO insert code RCGW060200, featuring a round (R) insert shape with a full radius cutting edge. The insert carries a K68 manufacturer grade, which delivers high to moderate wear resistance and toughness across stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials. With a 0.25-inch inscribed circle, a 0.0938-inch thickness, and a positive rake and clearance geometry, this insert is suited for finishing and light roughing applications where tight tolerances are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for use in screw-on style turning toolholders compatible with the RCGW insert style. It is applicable in residential shop, production machining, and industrial turning environments where machinists and CNC operators are working with stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), aluminum, and non-ferrous (N) workpiece materials. The W chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation during turning operations. Maximum depth of cut is 0.0492 inches (1.25 mm), making it best suited for finishing passes and contour turning rather than heavy stock removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound insert shape with full radius cutting edge for contour turning and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK68 grade provides high to moderate wear resistance across stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for applications where coating-free carbide is required, such as aluminum and non-ferrous cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake and positive side clearance geometry reduces cutting forces and heat generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eW chip breaker design promotes chip control at recommended feed rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew-on holding method ensures secure insert clamping and repeatable indexing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in screw-on style RCGW turning toolholders accepting a 0.25-inch inscribed circle round insert.
