Cutting Insert PLYTKA CCMT 09T308 SSP BP30SP2 by Pafana

Indexable cutting insert PLYTKA CCMT 09T308 SSP BP30SP2 by Pafana is a rhombic-shaped turning insert with a 9 mm inscribed circle and a 0.8 mm nose radius designed for general metal turning and finishing operations. Supplied in an SSP grade with a BP30SP2 chipbreaker, the insert is manufactured for predictable tool life, consistent geometry and improved chip control during light to medium cutting conditions. The CCMT 09T308 geometry is compatible with standard CCMT toolholders and is intended for applications where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are required.

Advantages

The SSP grade delivers balanced wear resistance and toughness for mixed cutting conditions, reducing the risk of edge chipping during interrupted cuts. The BP30SP2 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation to lower the chance of entanglement and to stabilize cutting forces. The 0.8 mm nose radius helps produce an improved surface finish while maintaining acceptable strength at the cutting edge. The standardized CCMT form ensures interchangeability with common toolholders for quick insert changes.

Suitable for

• General and finishing turning of steels and alloyed materials
• Light to medium depth cuts where surface quality matters
• Production turning with intermittent or continuous cuts

Key specifications

• Insert shape: rhombic (CCMT-style)
• Inscribed circle: 9 mm
• Nose radius: 0.8 mm
• Grade: SSP (wear/toughness balanced)
• Chipbreaker: BP30SP2 for controlled chip formation
• Indexable insert suitable for CCMT-compatible holders

How to use

Install the CCMT 09T308 insert in the corresponding CCMT-compatible turning toolholder, ensuring correct seat orientation and secure clamping according to the toolholder manufacturer's torque recommendations. Select cutting parameters (speed, feed, depth of cut) appropriate for the workpiece material, tool grade and machine rigidity; start with conservative settings and adjust to optimize surface finish and tool life. Monitor chip shape and condition of the cutting edge during initial passes and replace the insert when wear or edge damage affects part quality.

Использование и уход

The insert benefits from stable machine setup, correct tool overhang and proper coolant/lubrication to maximize life and maintain repeatable results.
