Claimed to be the world's first triangular 3D chipbreaker geometry in the large 32 size range, the GX has been developed to improve surface finishes, chip removal and above all, remove any remaining swarf at the end of the grooving process.
The insert geometry consists of a chipbreaker design with a central protrusion that shapes and curls the chips to reduce cutting forces and improve swarf evacuation.This geometry permits side machining with chip control when turning grooves of varying depth and width. To assist side machining capability, the GX series incorporates a polished outer periphery.
The PVD-coated carbide inserts are available with a cutting depth of 2 or 3 mm with a corner radius of 0.05, 0.1 or 0.2 mm.
