Products

Product families built around applications—not only ISO codes.

Turning, milling, grooving, drilling and non-standard carbide inserts, supported by a clean grade architecture and controlled technical recipe.

Product universe

Standard families plus project-based equivalents

Final recommendation is confirmed by cutter compatibility, workpiece material, machining severity and test result.

We separate the insert geometry, chipbreaker and carbide grade. This makes the product easier for distributors to sell and easier for GUTEC to control across qualified sources.

Assorted carbide inserts and cutting tools
Product line

Turning inserts

Core ISO geometries for steel, stainless, cast iron and hard-material applications—from finishing to heavy roughing.

Core geometries

CNMG / CNMM, DNMG, TNMG, WNMG, SNMG, CCMT, DCMT and VBMT.

Application window

Continuous and interrupted cutting; semi-finishing, general machining and roughing.

Project customization

Chipbreaker, edge preparation, coating, substrate and drawing-based equivalents.

Milling with carbide inserts
Product line

Milling inserts

Compatibility with the cutter body must be confirmed before a mass quotation.

  • Face milling: general and rough milling for steel, stainless and cast iron.
  • Round inserts: RCKT and R300-style equivalents for profiling and heavy cutting trials.
  • Shoulder milling: APMT, SEKT and SDMT-style inserts depending on cutter body.
  • Special geometry: drawing and sample confirmation before tooling commitment.
Additional families

Grooving, drilling and specials

Availability is project-specific and depends on geometry, coating, MOQ and drawing confirmation.

01 · GROOVING / PARTING

MGMN · MGGN · MRMN

Standard and custom widths, chipbreakers and edge-preparation options.

02 · DRILLING

WCMX · SPMG · U-drill

Indexable drilling insert families for distributor projects and replacement trials.

03 · SPECIALS / OEM

Drawing · sample · private code

Reverse-engineered equivalents with confidential internal version control.

Grades

GUTEC grade architecture

A public grade can be paired with an internal source/version code—for example, GTP35C-A01—to preserve traceability.

Technical recipe

An insert is a complete system

Changing one layer can change tool life. GUTEC therefore manages the complete recipe rather than only the outer brand name.

Substrate

Hardness · TRS · grain size

Controls the toughness and wear foundation.

Coating

CVD · PVD · TiAlN · AlTiN

Controls heat resistance, abrasion and adhesion.

Edge preparation

Honing · chamfer · polish

Controls chipping, burrs and built-up edge.

Geometry

Chipbreaker · rake · clearance

Controls chip flow, cutting force and surface finish.

Geometry + grade + coating + edge preparation must be treated as one controlled recipe.
