Turning Inserts Simplify Choice
Sandvik's Spectrum turning inserts machine different materials in a variety of cutting conditions.
Two grades are available, the GC15 and the GC30. The GC15 combines high-strength, micro-grain cemented carbide with a thin, PVD coating for edge strength and wear resistance. The GC30 features high bulk toughness with a gradient cemented carbide substrate and a wear- and heat-resistant CVD coating.
