Grades

 GC1020: A good PVD-coated grade for

threading in all types of materials.

 GC1125: A new grade within threading.

This grade has an unique substrate and
coating and is our first choice in steel.
It has multi-layer coating with better wear
resistance and toughness.

When a CoroThread 266
insert is introduced, the
corresponding U-Lock
insert will be 30-marked
 Holder
After all CoroThread 266
inserts and holders are
introduced, the U-Lock
holders will be 30-marked.

Note! Insert size -27 can only be used in CoroThread

holders due to the increase of insert thickness (+0.8 mm).
