    GC1010

    GC1010 is a PVD-coated grade for light roughing to finishing operations. Because of its exceptional resistance to plastic deformation, thermal cracking and other types of wear, this grade can withstand long periods of time in cut and is suitable for machining hardened steel from 36 HRC and higher.

    Benefits and features

    • First-choice grade for hardened steel
    • High cutting speeds
    • Offers security and long tool life
