Pafana CCMT 060204 SW1 BP35A — carbide turning insert CCMT 060204

Pafana CCMT 060204 SW1 BP35A is a carbide turning insert in CCMT 060204 geometry designed for use with indexable turning tool holders. The insert provides a replaceable cutting edge suited to external and internal turning operations, offering a practical solution for general metalcutting tasks such as profiling, facing and light to medium roughing. The small, rhomboid-shaped CCMT format and precise carbide grade make it compatible with standard clamping systems that accept CCMT inserts.

Advantages

The Pafana CCMT insert combines the wear resistance of carbide with a geometry optimized for stable cutting and predictable tool life. Its standardized CCMT 060204 shape allows quick indexing and replacement, reducing machine downtime. The insert’s ground cutting edges and consistent chipbreaking behaviour help maintain surface finish while enabling repeatable results across a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous materials when used within recommended cutting parameters.

Suitable for

• External turning of shafts, journals and profiles
• Internal boring and light internal profiling when used with compatible holders
• Facing operations on cylindrical workpieces
• General-purpose cutting of mild steels, alloy steels and non-ferrous metals

Key specifications

• Insert geometry: CCMT 060204 (rhomboid shape with 80° included angle)
• Material: sintered carbide for cutting edge wear resistance
• Chipbreaker style: BP35A for controlled chip formation
• Application range: external and internal turning, facing, profiling
• Mounting: indexable insert for standard CCMT-compatible tool holders

How to use

Mount the CCMT 060204 insert in a compatible CCMT tool holder making sure the seat and clamp are clean and undamaged. Tighten the clamping screw to the tool holder manufacturer’s recommended torque to secure stable cutting. Select cutting speeds, feeds and depths of cut according to workpiece material and the carbide grade characteristics; begin with conservative parameters and adjust for optimal surface finish and tool life. Index the insert to a fresh cutting edge when wear or chipping affects machining quality.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate coolant or lubrication for the workpiece material to extend insert life and improve chip evacuation. Inspect clamping mechanisms regularly and avoid excessive interrupted cuts or heavy feed rates beyond the insert’s intended application to prevent premature breakage.
