Carbide Turning Insert PLYTKA WNMG 080408 SSP BP30S — Pafana

Indexable carbide turning insert PLYTKA WNMG 080408 SSP BP30S by Pafana is a solid-carbide cutting tip designed for external and internal turning operations. The WNMG 080408 geometry provides a negative-rake, four-sided shape that fits standard WNMG toolholders and indexable systems. The BP30S grade balances wear resistance and toughness for general turning tasks on steels and cast materials, making the insert suitable for medium cutting conditions on CNC lathes and manual turning setups.

Advantages

The PLYTKA WNMG 080408 SSP BP30S insert offers consistent cutting-edge strength and dimensional stability across multiple indexing cycles. Its carbide composition in BP30S grade improves flank and crater wear resistance while maintaining sufficient toughness to resist chipping under interrupted cuts. The standardized WNMG 080408 geometry ensures interchangeability with a wide range of holders, allowing fast index changes and reducing tool changeover time.

Suitable for

• External turning on steel and cast iron
• Internal boring and light profiling
• Medium cutting speed and feed applications on CNC lathes
• General-purpose workshop turning where balanced wear resistance is required

Key specifications

• Insert geometry: WNMG 080408 (trigon/negative, four cutting edges)
• Coating/style: SSP surface treatment for wear resistance
• Carbide grade: BP30S (wear-resistant, balanced toughness)
• Primary use: external and internal turning operations
• Compatible machines: CNC lathes and manual turning centers
• Typical materials: steels and cast materials

How to use

Mount the WNMG 080408 insert into a compatible indexable turning holder designed for WNMG inserts, ensuring correct seating and clamp torque according to the holder manufacturer's instructions. Set cutting parameters (speed, feed, depth of cut) appropriate for the workpiece material — start from recommended medium cutting conditions for steels and castings and adjust for rigidity of the setup and desired surface finish. Use coolant or cutting fluid if required to control temperature and chip evacuation during continuous cuts.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the cutting edge after each indexing to verify wear and edge integrity; re-index when wear reaches acceptable limits to maintain dimension accuracy. For interrupted cuts or heavy feed, reduce cutting speed and consider increasing feed per revolution to prevent chipping. Store inserts in a dry, stable environment to avoid contamination before use.
