Carbide inserts: Seco, GESAC APKT and turning grades

Milling, turning and grooving inserts, with a grade cross-reference instead of a guess.

APKT 1604DNMG / WNMG / CNMGGrade cross-referenceStock items

Replaceable carbide inserts for milling, turning and grooving, supplied against the ISO code and, where you are used to a specific brand, against a grade cross-reference so the substitution is a decision rather than a gamble.

We keep the common milling geometries in stock — APKT 1604, APMT 1604, DNMG, WNMG, CNMG, CCMT — and quote the rest against the workpiece material, the operation and the machine.

How it is built

Cross-reference, not a guess

If you run a known grade, send the code and the material. We reply with the closest equivalent and, where the behaviour differs — toughness versus wear resistance — with the difference stated in plain words.

Batch traceability

Every box is laser-marked with grade and batch, so a tool-life problem can be traced back to a lot instead of argued about.

Honest about what we do not make

We supply and stock; we do not press carbide. When a grade is outside our range we say so rather than sell a substitute that will fail at the wrong moment.

Questions

Can you match a specific brand's grade?
For the common Seco, Sandvik and Korloy geometries we can usually offer an equivalent grade and state the difference in toughness and wear resistance. For exotic grades we will tell you to stay with the original.
What is the minimum order?
10 pieces per geometry. Mixed boxes are possible if you want to trial several grades on one job.
Do you supply the holders as well?
Yes, for APKT and APMT end mills and face mills, and for the turning holders matching the insert code.
How do you handle a tool-life complaint?
We ask for the cutting parameters, the material batch and the failure mode (crater, flank, chipping, thermal crack), then check the batch. If the grade is wrong for the application, we replace it; if the parameters are outside the grade's window, we tell you honestly.
