TCMT 16T304 Carbide Turning Inserts – Versatile Multi-Purpose Grade

These TCMT 16T304 turning inserts are a high-performance, all-round grade designed for reliable machining of Carbon Steels, Stainless Steels, and Alloy Steels.

They offer an excellent balance of wear resistance, toughness, and chip control, making them suitable for both roughing and semi finishing operations across a wide range of applications.

Why Choose Our Inserts?

We know from experience that many carbide inserts on the market suffer from common issues:

• No edge preparation or honing
• Made from recycled carbide
• Incorrect nose radius
• Not meeting ISO size tolerances

Every single insert is individually inspected before dispatch to ensure it meets our strict quality standards and performs reliably for you.
