Hi Trevor
I also bought some CCGT inserts recently and following Peter`s
suggestion of Walter I bought 10 of the WK1 grade which are uncoated.
They are extremly sharp and leave a fantastic finish. I find they are
best for shallow cuts of around a few thou. I find that for deeper
(or roughing) cuts I use the CCMT and then finish with the GT.
The Gt are great for those 1/2 thou type cuts which I find the CCMT to
tend to rub instead of cut.
I also got 4 DCGT type inserts which are Kermantel, I think, but of
the same sharp profile. Again these are uncoated and as yet untested.
Cheers
Paul
