Cargo Carbide WNMG U Cast Iron Inserts are carbide cutting inserts designed for CNC turning applications involving cast-iron components. The WNMG format provides a robust multi-edge insert configuration, while the U geometry gives this product a dedicated position within the Cargo Carbide cast-iron turning range.

WNMG U inserts are intended for suitable external turning, facing, step turning and general profile machining of cast-iron components. The WNMG insert format provides multiple usable cutting edges, helping manufacturers improve insert utilization during repetitive CNC production.

The U geometry should be selected according to the machining operation and cast-iron workpiece. Factors including cast-iron grade, cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, insert size, nose radius and machine rigidity should be considered when establishing the correct cutting conditions.

Cargo Carbide WNMG U Cast Iron Inserts are suitable for CNC lathes and turning centres used in automotive components, industrial machinery, engineering parts, pump and valve components and general cast-iron machining.
