MZG CNC Milling Inserts
MZG CNC Milling Inserts. These inserts are the critical cutting element in all indexable milling systems, representing the culmination of advanced metallurgy, precision grinding, and application-specific geometric design. Our portfolio is logically structured to provide optimized solutions for every type of milling operation. By understanding the core application—be it creating a perfect 90° shoulder, achieving the highest possible metal removal rates, or sculpting a complex 3D surface—our customers can select the ideal insert geometry and grade to unlock maximum performance and economic efficiency.
Maximum Metal Removal Rate
Innovative high-feed geometries, strong negative-rake inserts, and advanced coatings enable extreme feed rates and higher cutting speeds for faster chip making.
Exceptional Process Security
Ultra-fine grain carbide substrates with proprietary PVD/CVD coatings provide long, predictable tool life and reliable unattended machining capabilities.
Superior Surface Finish
Specialized wiper flat geometries strategically positioned on inserts effectively smooth surfaces, allowing doubled feed rates while achieving better finishes.
Product Performance
The performance of our CNC milling inserts is best understood when categorized by their primary milling application, as each family is engineered to excel in a specific machining strategy.
High-Efficiency Right Angle (Shoulder) Milling Performance: This is the most common milling application, and our performance here is defined by precision and versatility. The APKT and APMT series are the industry workhorses, featuring a strong 11° relief angle and two cutting edges, delivering exceptional performance in creating true 90° shoulders, slotting, and ramping.
Maximum Productivity High-Feed Milling Performance: When the primary goal is maximizing Metal Removal Rate (MRR), our high-feed inserts offer world-class performance. This strategy utilizes inserts with a large corner radius and a low lead angle, such as the WNMU, JOMW/JDMT, BLMP, and LNMU series.
Versatile Fillet and Profile Milling Performance (Round Inserts): For copy milling, 3D contouring, and creating large corner radii, our family of round inserts delivers exceptional performance. The RPMT, RPKT, and RPEW series are positive rake inserts that offer a strong yet free-cutting action.
Key Performance Indicators
- Insert Shapes: Square, Round, Octagonal, High-Feed geometries for all applications
