Excellent for different small batch production, these turning grades and geometries take away the complication of having many different tools for different jobs.
So whether external or internal machining, rough turning or finishing, machining continuously or with interrupted cuts, these inserts have been designed to be as versatile as possible, yet deliver high performance output in terms of reliability, tool life and chip control.
The grades can be used for turning in steels, stainless steels, HRSA, cast irons, titanium and nonferrous materials.
Two grades are being launched: GC15, which combines high strength micro-grain cemented carbide with a thin, PVD coating that adds edge strength and wear resistance and GC30 which has high bulk toughness with a gradient cemented carbide substrate and a highly wear- and heat resistant CVD coating.
