Manufactured to ISO code RCMT 12 04 00-M0 and offered in grade 4415, this insert features a tri-layer CVD coating of TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN applied in sequence to deliver wear resistance, thermal barrier protection, and oxidation resistance at the cutting edge. The inscribed circle measures 0.5000 inches and the corner radius is 0.2500 inches. The neutral hand orientation and round insert shape make it well-suited for profiling, facing, and contour turning where full 360-degree edge utilization is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for turning applications where secondary workpiece material classification K is applicable, indicating suitability for cast iron, hardened materials, and non-ferrous workpiece families per ISO material code convention. The RCMT-M0 chip breaker geometry and 7-degree relief angle support stable cutting at moderate to higher surface footage. It is typically installed by CNC machinists and turning center operators in precision machining shops, tool and die environments, and production turning cells. The clamp-and-screw holding method provides rigid seating in compatible RCMT toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCVD tri-layer coating: TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN for wear resistance and thermal protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound RCMT insert shape allows full indexing for maximum edge life per insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.2500-inch corner radius suits profiling and contour turning operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces and supports stable tool engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation fits both right-hand and left-hand toolholder configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamp and screw holding method provides positive, vibration-resistant seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard production insert for RCMT-style toolholders accepting a 0.5000-inch inscribed circle round insert with clamp-and-screw retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and zero-energy-lock the machine before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque driver for the clamping screw to avoid insert seat damage; do not overtighten by hand. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: RCMT 12 04 00-M0 4415\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round (R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: RCMT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4415\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN, Al2O3, TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: CVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: PR (M0 geometry)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHolding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp and Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: RCMT-M0 (INCH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SANDVIK COROMANT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8020973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SANDVIK COROMANT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737509200178,"sku":"8020973","price":245.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a4dac7428719805899fb822873a8d043_bf4d3b5d-4868-4ee1-ab19-ef719fdcd731.jpg?v=1788789474","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sandvik-coromant-8020973-turning-insert-rcmt-12-04-00-m0","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
