Tungaloy WGE50 GH730 Grooving Insert

Heavy-Duty 5mm Grooving | High-Toughness GH730 PVD Grade

"Which 5mm insert is best for heavy-duty grooving in difficult-to-cut stainless alloys?"

The Tungaloy WGE50 GH730 is a premium 5.0mm width double-ended insert engineered for maximum stability in external grooving and parting-off operations. Designed to handle high-load machining, the GH730 PVD coated carbide grade provides an exceptional balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness. This makes it the go-to choice for Stainless Steel and Heat-Resistant Superalloys. Its specialized chipbreaker geometry ensures that even under heavy depths of cut, chips are effectively curled and broken, preventing surface damage and ensuring the structural integrity of the tool during intensive production cycles.

GH730 PVD Durability

Advanced multi-layer PVD coating designed to combat notch wear and chemical oxidation. Ideal for materials with high thermal resistance.

Heavy-Duty 5mm Edge

Reinforced 5mm width providing high rigidity. Perfect for large diameter parting-off and deep radial grooving without vibration.

Repeatable Indexing

Precision-ground seating ensures that when flipping to the second edge, the centerline height remains perfectly accurate.

Customer Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Workhorse for Stainless" - James H., USA
"We use the WGE50 GH730 for our heavy hydraulic shaft parting. It is a workhorse. The GH730 grade handles the heat build-up in 316 stainless better than any other insert."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Stable at 5mm" - Dieter W., Germany
"Excellent stability in deep grooves. No chatter at all. BEYOND provided technical parameters that improved our cycle time by 15%."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Professional and Fast" - Takumi S., Japan
"Ordering from Beyond is easy. The parts are always original and the shipping is faster than many local suppliers."

Technical FAQ

Q: Can I use WGE50 for plunge-turning?

A: Yes, but ensure your feed rate is adjusted. The GH730 grade is tough enough for light turning, but primarily optimized for radial grooving.

Q: What coolant setup is best for GH730?

A: High-pressure through-tool coolant is ideal to prevent chip re-cutting and to maximize the lifespan of the PVD coating in stainless.

Industrial Tip: Monitoring Edge Wear

When machining high-temp alloys with **GH730**, watch for notch wear at the DOC line. If noticed, slightly vary your depth of cut between passes to distribute the wear. **BEYOND CNC** - Your Industrial Tooling Expert.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide

How do I choose the correct specification?

When choosing CNC cutting tools, check the full model code, dimensions, grade and selected variant before ordering. Do not rely on the product image alone.

How can I check compatibility with my existing setup?

For carbide inserts, tool holders, drills and end mills, compare the mounting dimensions, connection type and manufacturer's specifications with your holder or machine. If you are unsure, share your existing part number and machining application with us before ordering.

What quantity and price unit am I ordering?

Check the product listing for the selling unit, pack quantity and included components. If it is unclear whether the price is per piece or per pack, or whether a tool body and inserts are sold separately, contact us before purchasing.

How should I choose cutting parameters?

Select cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using the relevant manufacturer's recommendations for your tool model, workpiece material, machine conditions and coolant method. The same settings are not suitable for every product or application.

Are bulk discounts available?

Our automatic quantity discount is 6% off for 2–9 items and 12% off for 10 or more items, based on the total product quantity in the cart. Other offers may not combine with this discount; check the applicable offer conditions.

When will my order ship and arrive?

According to our shipping policy, orders are typically processed and shipped within 1–3 business days after confirmation. Delivery generally takes 5–20 business days, depending on your destination and shipping method. Customs clearance or unforeseen delays may affect delivery times. A tracking number is sent by email after shipment.
