Tough, thin-coated PVD grade for finishing to roughing in unstable to stable, wet or dry conditions. Good choice for complex tool paths and sticky materials.
Tough, medium-thick coated CVD grade designed for tough and demanding, medium to rough milling applications with poor stability in dry conditions. High feed rates, large diameters and radial engagements.
Medium-hard, thin-coated PVD grade to be used as a complement to GC1040 when stability is good and for high cutting speed demands in wet and dry conditions.
Medium-hard, thin coated PVD grade for light roughing to finishing. Complement to GC1040 in good stability, for high cutting speeds in dry conditions.
