When stainless steel bites with thermal cracks and built-up edges, GC1240 fights back.
Powered by an innovative nano-multilayer coating produced with the renowned Zertivo® coating process technology, GC1240 delivers exceptional resistance to thermal cracking and abrasive wear.
Its stable edge line ensures secure machining with predictable tool life, from light roughing to finishing in both
wet and dry conditions.
CoroMill® MR80 is a dedicated face milling cutter designed to tackle the challenging roughing operations on turbo exhaust housings.
The machinability of stainless steels differs depending on alloying elements, heat treatment, manufacturing process, whether the material is forged or casted, etc.
Milling has evolved into a machining method with a very broad range of operations. Configurations have to be carefully considered before milling.
Our stainless steel insert grade assortment consists of CVD- and PVD-coated cemented carbide grades and cermets for various machining conditions. Use the information below to find the right grade for your production.

Nano multi-layer PVD-coated grade produced with Zertivo® technology. Designed for light roughing to finishing operations, both for wet and dry machining. First choice for stainless steel in varying process conditions.

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 demands on high cutting speed 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.
