Accusize GTN-2 Coated Carbide Cut-Off Inserts for Stainless 10‑Piece

Description

Product Overview

Accusize has built a reputation for delivering high‑quality cutting tools, and the GTN-2 carbide cut‑off inserts continue that tradition with a focus on durability, precision, and ease of use. These inserts are crafted from premium tungsten carbide, a material known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to wear, ensuring that each cut maintains its sharpness even after prolonged use. The PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating applied to the cutting edge adds an extra layer of protection, reducing friction and extending the life of the insert when working with tough stainless steel alloys. Designed with a 0° lead angle, the GTN-2 provides a straight, clean cut that minimizes material deformation and reduces the need for secondary finishing operations. Each insert measures a cutting width of 0.078 inches and a radius of 0.008 inches, dimensions that are carefully calibrated to deliver consistent performance across a range of machining scenarios. The self‑lock geometry of the insert simplifies tool holder setup, allowing for quick changes and reducing machine downtime. Packaged in sets of ten, the GTN-2 inserts give manufacturers and repair shops a reliable inventory that can handle high‑volume production runs without the need for frequent re‑ordering.

Usage

These inserts are ideally suited for parting and grooving operations on stainless steel, a material that is notoriously difficult to machine due to its high work‑hardening rate and tendency to cause tool wear. In a typical shop floor environment, the GTN-2 inserts can be mounted on standard indexable tool holders, making them compatible with a wide range of CNC milling machines and manual lathes. Their robust PVD coating allows them to maintain cutting efficiency even when machining at higher spindle speeds, which is essential for achieving tight tolerances in aerospace, medical device, and food processing component manufacturing. The 0° lead angle ensures that the cutting forces are directed straight into the workpiece, reducing vibration and improving surface finish. This makes the GTN-2 inserts an excellent choice for precision applications such as valve stem production, surgical instrument fabrication, and high‑strength fastener manufacturing. Additionally, the inserts perform well in environments where coolant usage is limited, as the coating helps to dissipate heat and prevent thermal damage to both the tool and the workpiece. Whether you are running a small batch of custom parts or a large‑scale production line, the GTN-2 provides the reliability and consistency needed to keep your operations running smoothly.

FAQ

What material is the GTN-2 insert made from?

The GTN-2 insert is fabricated from high‑grade tungsten carbide, which provides exceptional hardness and resistance to abrasion, making it ideal for cutting tough materials like stainless steel.

How does the PVD coating benefit the cutting process?

The PVD coating creates a hard, low‑friction surface on the insert, reducing heat buildup and tool wear during high‑speed machining, which results in longer tool life and smoother cuts.

Can these inserts be used on materials other than stainless steel?

Yes, while the GTN-2 is optimized for stainless steel, it can also perform well on other hard alloys and high‑strength steels, provided that appropriate cutting parameters are selected.

What is the recommended spindle speed for best results?

For most stainless steel applications, a spindle speed between 4,000 and 6,000 RPM is recommended, but the exact speed should be adjusted based on the specific alloy and machine capabilities.

Do the inserts come with any warranty or guarantee?

Accusize offers a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and ensures that the inserts meet the stated performance specifications, giving you peace of mind with every purchase.
