Technical Information
Insert Shape Insert shape should be selected according to the approach angle accessibility of the tool. The largest point angle should be applied to get insert strength and reliability.
Larger point angle and higher cutting edge strength to the left.
Higher edge accessibility and operational versatility to the right.
