Built to the GCMR insert style in size code 2002, it features a 2.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 19.05 mm, making it well-suited for medium-depth grooving passes. The insert carries SUMITOMO grade AC530U with a PVD coating process, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Right-hand cutting orientation and a positive rake angle of 5 degrees help reduce cutting forces and improve chip evacuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for use in the SUMITOMO GND series toolholding system. It is suited for production and job-shop environments where stainless steel and steel are the primary workpiece materials. Secondary applications include cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. The double-end configuration extends usable life per insert, supporting cost-effective tooling programs in high-cycle turning operations. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the typical end users for this insert type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with AC530U grade and PVD coating for extended tool life on stainless steel and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 19.05 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive 5-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces and promotes clean chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCG chip breaker geometry controls chip formation across a range of feed rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-end insert design doubles the number of usable cutting edges per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with ANSI and ISO 13399 standards for insert identification and interchangeability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with SUMITOMO GND series grooving toolholders that accept GCMR-style inserts with insert seat size 3.

Use the appropriate torx or hex key specified for the GND series toolholder clamping screw  -  do not overtighten, as solid carbide inserts are brittle and can crack under excessive clamping force. Verify insert seating and orientation before resuming machining operations. Handle carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping cutting edges prior to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: GCMR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.00 mm (0.0787 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19.05 mm (0.7500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.00 mm to 20.00 mm (0.3000 to 1.0000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.20 mm (0.0079 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.61 mm (0.1420 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8310 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.00 mm (0.0787 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21.11 mm (0.8310 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: AC530U\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.00 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: CG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Seat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: GND\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: GCMR2002-CG-05\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO 13399\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Hard Material, Non-Ferrous Metal, Superalloy, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.35 x 0.14 x 0.06 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SUMITOMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18HMAMN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SUMITOMO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51787789336882,"sku":"18HMAMN","price":171.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d93a5585ed8ee3434347a30528fb7626_e4cb9533-26c4-4e2c-8fce-345ad9021991.jpg?v=1789218987","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sumitomo-18hmamn-grooving-insert-ac530u-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
