* Actual value of surface roughness is approximately 1.5 to 3 times higher (for steel). * Theoretical surface roughness is calculated using the following formula: [h = (f 2 / 8r) x 10 3 ].

Low cutting force compared to wiper insert enables high-feed cutting

Inserts with a larger nose radius also give better surface roughness during actual machining
