GC1040
Tough enough to stay sharp in stainless steels

Even in the most extreme situations, such as machining austenitic stainless and duplex materials with end mill tools having long overhangs, the new grade GC1040 gives secure performance with long-lasting sharp cutting edges keeping cutting forces low.


A safe first choice

Stable conditions






Unstable conditions, demanding operations


Application range
GC1040 is a broad grade for the stainless steels area, easily applied in every milling application.
