Cargo Carbide CNMG TM-05 Steel Inserts are carbide turning inserts developed for CNC machining of steel components. The CNMG format provides a strong negative insert configuration, while the TM-05 designation gives this product a specific position within the Cargo Carbide steel-turning insert range.

The CNMG TM-05 insert is intended for suitable steel turning operations, including external diameter turning, facing, step turning and general production machining. Its CNMG format offers multiple usable cutting edges, making it practical for CNC manufacturers looking to maintain efficient insert utilization during repeated machining work.

The TM-05 configuration should be selected according to the actual steel being machined and the operating conditions of the CNC machine. Factors such as cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, insert size, nose radius and machine rigidity should be considered when determining the appropriate setup.

Cargo Carbide CNMG TM-05 Steel Inserts are suitable for CNC lathes and turning centres used in automotive components, engineering parts, machinery components and general industrial production.
