Threads created by thread milling, thread turning, tapping, or thread whirling must meet and exceed the rigorous standards and tolerances set by the oil and gas, automotive, medical, and aerospace industries. Find the insert and/or grade here for achieving high-quality thread profiles with excellent chip control and surface finish.
GC1125 is the First Choice grade for ISO P, M, K, and N materials in CoroThread® 266. This PVD-coated grade combines the superior wear resistance of a coated grade with the edge sharpness and toughness of an uncoated grade. Optimized for steel threading and for medium to high speeds.Benefits and features
The wide range of carbide threading grades from Sandvik Coromant offers high productivity for many materials and applications. Select the most suitable tool for the operation, and use the table to find the grade and geometry that best match the application requirements.

PVD TiCrAlN grade for ISO P, M, K, and N materials. Combines the superior wear resistance of a coated grade with the edge sharpness and toughness of an uncoated grade. Optimized for steel threading and for medium to high speeds.
PVD TiCrAlN grade for ISO M, S, P, and K materials, optimized for stainless steel and heat-resistant super alloys. The best choice for sharp profiles in all materials and for low to medium speeds.
A PVD-coated carbide grade with high hot hardness and a good combination with the sharpest cutting edges. Specially suited for low carbon, stainless steel, and heat-resistant super alloys.
A PVD-coated all-round grade for toughness demanding operations. Recommended for small part machining at low cutting speed.
Brazed CBN-tippped inserts ideal for threading hardened components. Can be applied in the hardness range HRc 55–62 and for finishing at limited cutting depths and eliminates the need for grinding operations.
