Carrying the ANSI code 2NUCCGA32.51 and ISO code 2NU-CCGW09T304, this insert features a diamond-shaped (C) body with an 80-degree included angle, a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle, and a 1\/64-inch corner radius. The BN7500 grade delivers high hardness and thermal stability, making it a reliable choice for machinists working with difficult-to-cut materials at elevated cutting speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for finish and semi-finish turning of cast iron, hardened steel, and superalloys in production machining environments. The positive rake geometry and neutral hand orientation allow flexible application across a variety of toolholders. With a maximum depth of cut of 0.015 inches and a screw-mounted holding method, it is well matched to light, precise cuts where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are the priority. Typical users include CNC machinists and toolroom operators in job shops and production facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePCBN insert material provides exceptional hardness for machining cast iron, hardened steel, and superalloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated BN7500 grade optimized for high-speed, light-depth finishing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiamond insert shape with 80-degree included angle delivers a strong cutting edge and versatile approach angles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and heat generation at the workpiece interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew-mounted holding method ensures secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation supports use in both right-hand and left-hand toolholder configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with ANSI and ISO 13399 standards for consistent insert identification and toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CCGA-style screw-clamp toolholders compatible with the 2NU-CCGA insert style and CCG series geometry.

Use the appropriate torx or hex key to secure the clamp screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure without over-torquing the insert pocket. Inspect the pocket seat and clamp for wear or debris before seating the insert, as contamination can cause insert rocking and premature edge failure. Follow your facility's tooling change procedures and applicable shop safety standards when handling PCBN inserts, as edges are extremely sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2NUCCGA32.51\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2NU-CCGW09T304\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride (PCBN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: BN7500\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond (C) 80-degree included angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/64 inches (0.0156 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inches (0.1563 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0984 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1732 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Hardened Steel, Superalloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: CCG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO 13399\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 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: SUMITOMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16RK144\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SUMITOMO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731204997426,"sku":"16RK144","price":113.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/982c5db61789cb5ff784ed81921340f7.jpg?v=1788728252","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sumitomo-16rk144-pcbn-turning-insert-bn7500-diamond","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
