Carrying the AC5015S manufacturer grade and an Absotech PVD coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability suited to interrupted cuts and continuous grooving passes. It features a 2 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 20 mm, and a neutral hand orientation. The GG chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip evacuation during grooving cycles. Machinists and CNC turning specialists working in production environments are the primary installers and users of this insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is built for grooving applications where dimensional accuracy and surface finish consistency are critical. The GND series designation indicates compatibility with corresponding Sumitomo clamp-style toolholders designed for that insert family. It is suited for use on steel, stainless steel, and similar workpiece materials where a PVD-coated carbide grade performs effectively. The neutral hand configuration makes it adaptable to both left-hand and right-hand grooving setups depending on the toolholder orientation used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAC5015S carbide grade with Absotech PVD coating for extended tool life in grooving operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 mm cutting width for precision groove sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut of 20 mm, suitable for deep grooving applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGG chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation and evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand insert orientation for versatile toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamp-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in the toolholder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo cutting edges per insert to extend usable life per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Sumitomo GND series clamp-style toolholders that accept GCM2002 insert size.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing the insert. Use the appropriate torque driver or clamping tool specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the clamp — do not over-tighten by hand or use improvised tools. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and runout control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: GCM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: AC5015S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.60 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.60 mm\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\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: GND\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: GG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Absotech\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches L x 1.5 inches W x 0.5 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.012 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Package Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\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: 18T5ALK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SUMITOMO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754680942898,"sku":"18T5ALK","price":183.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/243cd28d674a017a171dbcf94f97d342_e96c6cd4-ae7b-45d8-b07b-ee240626b0c1.jpg?v=1788947774","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sumitomo-18t5alk-grooving-insert-ac5015s-2mm-gnd-series","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
