(1) Turning insert listing order is negative type inserts followed by positive type inserts. (2) The order of listing in each type group is as follows: C (80° Diamond) → D (55° Diamond) → R (Round) → S (Square) → T (Triangular) → V (35° Diamond) → W (Trigon). (3) Listing of inserts with the same relief angle are provided for those with holes and then those without holes. (4) Inserts are grouped by shape and then further divided by size (small to large according to cutting edge length and thickness). Format of This Chapter
