What CCGT 120404 tells you on the shop floor
80° corner: strong yet versatile, turns and faces with the same insert.
Positive insert (7°): lower cutting forces and less chatter. For finishing, boring, thin-walled parts and lighter machines.
Ground: a more precise edge, repeatable at every insert change. The choice for finishing and tight tolerances.
Small radius: lower forces and chatter, good finish at low feed.
Typical holders for CCGT
For a positive rhombic 80° insert the most common ISO 5608 holders are:
- SCLCR/L · lead angle 95°
- SCACR/L · lead angle 90°
The final R or L means right or left hand. Shank size, length and the exact clamping are in the manufacturer's catalogue.
Toolholders that take it
In inches, with the ANSI designation, the same insert is CCGT 431: size in eighths of an inch, thickness in sixteenths, radius in sixty-fourths. Converting any code, both ways, is in ISO Inserts Pro.
Other CCGT sizes
