Diamond-shaped H6310 cemented carbide insert – applications and design
single-sided 55° diamond, positive geometry with a hole and chip breaker
The DCMT 070204 turning insert is a single-sided, diamond-shaped insert made of grade H6310 cemented carbide, designed for finishing and semi-finishing steel and stainless steel. Shape D, a diamond with a 55° corner angle, facilitates copy turning and access to the workpiece contour from several directions. The positive geometry with a 7° clearance angle reduces cutting forces, making the insert suitable for slender shafts and boring small holes. The rε 0.4 mm corner radius provides a smooth surface at low feed rates, while the countersunk mounting hole allows the screw to clamp the insert securely in the pocket.
Key features of the H6310 cemented carbide insert
- Two cutting edges — 2 sharp 55° corners on one side of the insert; after the first wears out, index the insert by 180° without changing the holder.
- Grade H6310 for ISO groups P and M — general-purpose PVD-coated carbide: steel (P20-P40) and stainless steel (M20-M40), and occasionally cast iron.
- Corner radius rε 0.4 mm — small radius for finishing: a smooth surface and lower radial forces at low feed rates.
- The positive 7° clearance angle reduces flank friction — less heat and vibration on thin-walled workpieces.
- The IC of 6.35 mm (1/4″) and thickness of 2.38 mm fit holders and boring bars with a size 07 D-shaped diamond insert pocket.
- Tolerance class M provides repeatable cutting edge positioning after indexing the insert in its pocket, without adjusting the turning tool setting.
Applications and cutting data selection for the diamond-shaped insert
The DCMT 070204 insert (also written without spaces as dcmt070204) is suitable for finishing shafts, bushings, and thin-walled components made of structural steels and stainless steel. Calculate spindle speed using the formula n = 1000·Vc/(π·D): for a shaft diameter of 30 mm at Vc = 250 m/min, the result is approximately 2653 rpm. For stainless steel, maintain a cutting speed of 110–230 m/min and a constant feed rate of 0.06–0.11 mm/rev to limit work hardening of the layer being cut. Grade H6310 indexable inserts are supplied by the Korean brand Horn.
The PVD coating increases the cutting edge's resistance to wear and built-up edge, which is important when turning gummy stainless steel. The single-sided design provides two cutting corners — after the first wears out, simply index the insert by 180° in its pocket. The small IC of 6.35 mm and positive rake angle also make the insert suitable for boring holes from approximately 10 mm in diameter using boring bars with a D-shaped pocket. The chip breaker formed on the rake face curls and breaks chips even at low feed rates, facilitating operation without constant supervision. For internal machining, select the shortest boring bar overhang that reaches the hole depth to reduce vibration and improve surface finish.
The thin, positive DCMT 070204 insert (thickness s 2.38 mm) is designed for finishing and semi-finishing — not for heavy rough turning at large depths of cut. Grade H6310 does not cover hardened steels above 45 HRC; for hard turning, choose a cubic boron nitride (CBN) insert.

Frequently asked questions about the DCMT 070204 insert
number of cutting edges, turning tool selection, and stainless steel turning
Two — the diamond has 2 acute corners 55°, and the positive, single-sided geometry (7° clearance angle) allows cutting with only one side of the insert. After the first corner wears out, index the insert by 180° in its pocket without changing the holder.
Holders and boring bars with a D-shaped diamond pocket, size 07 (IC 6.35 mm): for external turning SDJCR/L and SDHCR/L and SDNCN with cross sections of 8×8–16×16 mm; for internal turning, boring bars SDQCR/L, SDUCR/L, SDPCR/L and SD-CR/L from Ø10 to Ø20 mm in diameter.
The small radius 0.4 mm is a finishing version: low radial forces and a smooth surface at low feed rates. For more general-purpose use, choose 0.8 mm, and for higher feed rates, a radius of 1.2 mm; the other dimensions in the DCMT 0702 family remain identical.
Yes — grade H6310 covers group ISO M20-M40. Maintain a cutting speed of 110–230 m/min, a constant feed, and continuous emulsion cooling: austenitic steel conducts heat poorly and work-hardens when cutting is too slow.
