Sharp CornerSome inserts for axial turning have a
sharp corner to give minimum cutting force. |
Full Radius
Some inserts have a full radius to give a good
combination of light
radial pressure, long tool life and a smooth surface. |
Some
inserts have a narrow edge, a "wiper" parallel to the centre-line of the
machine axle. This wiper produces a very smooth surface finish. |
Radius and Wiper
Some inserts for axial turning have both a wiper
and a radius to get both the extra too life and the smooth surface finish. |
