Galtona

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.
