Cargo Carbide CNMG MA Stainless Steel Inserts are carbide cutting inserts developed for CNC turning of stainless-steel components. The CNMG format provides a robust negative insert configuration for machining applications where reliable edge support and consistent cutting performance are important.

The MA geometry gives this insert a distinct position within the Cargo Carbide stainless-steel turning range. It is intended for suitable stainless-steel machining conditions and can be used for operations such as external diameter turning, facing, step turning and general production machining.

The CNMG design provides multiple usable cutting edges, allowing manufacturers to make efficient use of each insert during repeated CNC machining operations. The appropriate Cargo Carbide grade, insert size and nose radius should be selected according to the stainless-steel grade, cutting parameters, machine rigidity, depth of cut and required surface finish.

For CNC manufacturers machining stainless-steel components, the CNMG MA Stainless Steel Insert provides a dedicated geometry option within the Cargo Carbide CNMG range.
