Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Leo ★★★★★

That 7° relief angle makes all the difference—chips clear cleanly on my finishing passes without any chatter. The 80° diamond shape seats solidly in the holder, and cut quality has been consistent across a dozen parts so far.

Grace N. ★★★★★

Swapped out a tired insert on my lathe for this CCMT-21.51 and the 80° diamond geometry cut through stainless steel bar stock like butter. The single-sided chip breaker left a clean finish with no chatter at all.

Edward U. ★★★★★

Cutting a 0.1" groove in 4140 steel was effortless with this insert—the 7° relief cleared chips beautifully. It’s holding an edge far longer than the last carbide I tried.
