Kyocera CCMT09T308 CA115P TML00326 Diamond Insert - Steel Turning

Product Overview

Designed for precision machining, the CCMT09T308 CA115P TML00326 combines Kyocera's advanced coating technology with a robust 80° diamond geometry. The Standard geometry profile optimizes chip evacuation while minimizing cutting forces, reducing heat generation and extending insert life. With a 9.525 mm inscribed circle and 3.18 mm thickness, this insert provides stable performance across a wide range of depths of cut and feed rates.

ISO Designation Breakdown

The CCMT09T308 designation follows the ISO 1832 standard for indexable inserts. Each character in the code specifies a critical geometric or functional parameter:

Note: Values are starting recommendations. Adjust based on machine power, rigidity, and coolant application.

Operating Guidelines

Follow these best practices to maximize tool life and part quality:

• Entry Angle: Use 45°-75° entering angle for optimal chip control and reduced notch wear.
• Coolant: High-pressure coolant (70+ bar) recommended for stainless steel and deep cavity work.
• Dry Machining: CA115P grade is optimized for dry cutting; coolant may cause thermal shock in interrupted cuts.
• Edge Preparation: Do not re-sharpen or re-coat. Insert is designed for single-use indexing.
• Tool Overhang: Minimize overhang to 4× insert size for stable cutting and reduced vibration.
• Chip Management: Ensure adequate chip evacuation to prevent recutting and premature flank wear.
• Workpiece Preparation: Remove scale and surface defects before finishing operations to protect cutting edge.
• Speed Ramp: Reduce speed by 15% for first 2 minutes to allow thermal stabilization of the coating.

Toolholder Compatibility

The CCMT09T308 is compatible with standard ISO toolholders. Recommended holder families:

• Compatible Holders: MCLN / MCKN / MCGN (80° diamond)
• Clamping Method: Screw clamp (for hole-type inserts) or lever lock
• Holder Material: Alloy steel, heat-treated to 45-50 HRC
• Insert Seat: Precision ground to match insert shape and clearance angle
• Coolant Delivery: Through-tool coolant recommended for optimal chip evacuation
