Heavy-duty turning inserts
Carbide inserts for heavy turning and roughing (HDT) — TCH, HD2, HD5 and HD8 chip grooves plus a dedicated titanium range.
Galtona's HDT range extends the Negative Size Turning program for demanding, heavy-duty turning — from medium roughing up to full interrupted-cut capability.
Four dedicated chip grooves scale with depth of cut: TCH (2.5–10 mm), HD2 (1.5–12 mm, new sharp positive geometry for high-strength steels), HD5 (2–12 mm), and HD8 (2.5–12 mm, rated for consistent, inconsistent, *and* interrupted cuts).
The 909+ groove adds medium-and-roughing coverage across CNMG, SNMG, and TNMG shapes plus RCMT round inserts, in GTCP125, GTCP135, and cast-iron-specific GTCK120 grades.
Also includes a dedicated turning-titanium range ("S15") with IPE+ chipbreaker geometry across CNMG, DNMG, SNMG, TNMG, VNMG, and WNMG insert shapes.
909+ — medium & roughing turning
909+ Chip Groove — Medium & Roughing
CNMG/SNMG/TNMG plus RCMT round inserts (…-XR), across GTCP125, GTCP135, and GTCK120 grades.
Example: CNMG 160612-909+. Depth of cut 3.20–7.60 mm, feed 1.00–0.60 mm. Not recommended for interrupted cuts.
