Grooving and Parting Carbide Inserts
This guideline should be taken only as a general rule of thumb - Of coarse there are always exceptions to the standard{s} the industry has designated
Grooving and Parting Style Carbide Insert = This is a pretty chaotic grouping - Seems pretty much like each Manufacturer has their own designation - As Iscar's patents have run out some manufacturers have duplicated their GFN/GTN designations and, many times the numerals will designate a series and cutting width from the various manufacturer's.
