Advantages of steel turning insert WNMG080404
In steel turning, the choice of insert determines efficiency and cost.
Have you ever encountered these problems:
The insert breaks when it is first used?
Iron chips entangle the cutter and the surface is rough?
The workpiece size is unstable and the scrap rate is high?
If so, then you should seriously consider this classic and efficient turning insert – WNMG080404.

What is WNMG080404?
Let’s quickly take a look at its model structure:
W: Hexagonal blade (80°), double-sided, with a total of 6 cutting edges
N: 0° back angle, suitable for heavy-load negative front angle cutting
M: Medium precision, strong versatility
G: With hole for stable installation
080404: The blade side length is about 8mm, the thickness is 4.76mm, and the tip radius is 0.4mm
This blade is commonly used for medium to heavy load external cylindrical turning, end turning, roughing and semi-finishing.

WNMG080404 Three major advantages of processing steel parts
Strong rigidity, suitable for rough machining
The WNMG blade adopts a negative rake angle design with a 0° back angle, and the blade body is thick and strong.
This makes it particularly suitable for heavy cutting or high feed rough machining of steel parts, and it is not easy to break the blade even in intermittent working conditions.
Reliable coating, longer life
We use high-toughness carbide substrate with nano-level PVD coating (such as AlTiN, TiAlCrN, etc.) to effectively improve the blade’s:
Heat resistance
Wear resistance
Anti-built-up edge
When processing ordinary carbon steel and alloy steel at high speed, the blade life can be extended by 2~3 times.
Strong adaptability, capable of processing a variety of steel parts
Whether you are processing:
Ordinary 45 steel, Q235/Q345
Alloy steel such as 42CrMo, 20CrMnTi
Mold steel such as P20, 718
WNMG080404 can handle it stably and is suitable for a variety of working conditions from black leather rough turning to semi-finishing.

WNMG080404 What is the difference between machining steel parts and machining stainless steel?
Comparison Items | WNMG machining steel parts | WNMG Machining of Stainless Steel |
Base material | High hardness and medium toughness cemented carbide substrate | High toughness, anti-adhesion matrix |
Coating Type | PVD TiAlN / AlCrN | PVD TiAlN / Nano-multilayer anti-stick coating |
Chipbreaker design | MP, MM chipbreaker (medium cutting) | MS, MSF chipbreaker (low cutting force design) |
Edge treatment | Rounding treatment to enhance the collapse resistance | Sharpen the cutting edge and reduce cutting resistance |
WNMG080404 is a cost-effective choice for machining steel parts.
It has high strength, long life, good chip breaking and low cost, and is particularly suitable for rough machining or semi-finishing turning of medium and large parts.
