DNMG 150408-HM OS8225 Carbide Turning Insert

The DNMG 150408-HM OS8225 is a negative-rake carbide turning insert designed for medium machining operations in CNC and conventional lathes. With its 55° rhombic geometry, it provides a strong balance between accessibility and edge strength. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases insert durability, allowing higher feed rates and stable performance during continuous machining.

Manufactured in OS8225 grade, this insert combines wear resistance with toughness, making it an excellent choice for machining steels under medium cutting conditions. The HM chipbreaker is optimized for medium machining, ensuring reliable chip evacuation, lower cutting forces, and stable cutting action. This results in consistent tool life and good surface finishes.

The DNMG 150408-HM OS8225 is fully compatible with MDJNR and DDJNR external turning holders, which are designed for 55° rhombic inserts. It is commonly used in automotive, mold making, and general engineering industries, where productivity and consistency in machining steels are critical.
