DCMT Metal Lathe Tools
DCMT2(2.5)1 inserts are a popular choice for steel machining in metal lathe cutting tools because of their unique
advantages:
Positive rake angle: DCMT2(2.5)1 inserts have a positive rake angle
High wear resistance: These inserts are made of carbide and have strong wear resistance
Sharp cutting edge: The sharp edge enables it to cut steel cleanly
Multiple cutting edges: Can be rotated to expose a new cutting edge
Versatility: DCMT2(2.5)1 inserts are suitable for a variety of steels
Customizable: Can be customized to the specific requirements of various steel machining operations.
Increase machining efficiency: Allows for higher feed rates and cutting speeds
DCMT 2(2.5)1 metal lathe tools are 55° rhombic shaped, single-sided indexable carbide inserts with a 7° positive rake angle. Designed for a range of materials including steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, these inserts are ideal for general turning operations. They offer two effective cutting edges and are secured via a cylindrical fixing hole with a 40°-60° countersink on one side. The DCMT 2(2.5)1 size indicates an inscribed circle of 3/8", a thickness of 5/32", and a corner radius of 0.031". These inserts are known for their balance of strength and precision, suitable for both roughing and finishing applications
