The Zycron KNUX160405R Turning Insert GCP101 is a precision right-hand carbide insert designed for external turning, profiling, contouring and finishing operations. Its 55° parallelogram geometry provides improved access around shoulders and detailed profiles, making it suitable for machining components with more complex contours.
The GCP101 coated carbide grade supports consistent cutting performance, reliable wear resistance and a clean surface finish. Its positive cutting action helps reduce cutting pressure and promotes controlled chip formation, particularly during light-to-medium turning operations.
With a 0.5 mm corner radius, the insert offers a practical balance between cutting-edge strength and finishing capability. The right-hand configuration is designed for use with compatible KNUX tool holders and standard right-hand machining setups.
Always confirm tool-holder compatibility and select suitable cutting speeds, feed rates and depths of cut for the material being machined.
