... should be selected relative to the
entering angle and accessibility require-
ments of the tool. The largest possible
point angle should be applied to give
insert strength and reliability. But this
has to be weighed against the variation
of cuts needed to be taken. Here, the
versatility of the tool, through the degree
of tool access, is determined by the size
of the point angle (compare a square in-
sert to a 35-degree point angle insert.)
A large point angle is strong but needs
more machine power and has a higher
tendency to vibrate due to having a large
cutting edge engaged in cut. The small
point angle is weaker and has a smal-
ler cutting edge engagement, which can
make it more sensitive to the effects of
heat. Each insert shape has a set maxi-
mum effective cutting edge length which
inuences the depth of cut possible.
The 80-degree point angle, rhombic-
shaped insert is frequently used as it
is an effective compromise and suitable
for many operations.
Scale 1 indicates that as regards cutting edge strength (S), the larger the point angle to the left, the higher
the strength. While as regards versatility and accessibility (A), the inserts to the right are superior.
Scale 2 indicates that the vibration tendency (V) rises to the left while power (P) requirement is lower to the
right.

... according to shape and cutting edge
length, should be related to the type of
application involved. The maximum depth
of cut required should certainly help to
establish the insert size once the shape
has been determined. (The depth of cut
inuences the metal removal rate,
number of cuts necessary, chipbreaking
and the power requirement.) Establish
the effective cutting edge length (l
a
)
along with the shape of the insert, the
entering angle (
r
) of the tool holder and
the depth of cut. The minimum neces-
sary effective cutting edge length can be
determined from the table relating the
depth of cut (ap) to the entering angle
(
r
). For extra reliability in more demand-
ing operations, a larger, thicker insert
should be considered for a higher degree
of reliability.
When machining against a shoulder, the
depth of cut can experience dramatic in-
creases measures here should include a
stronger insert or an additional facing cut
to minimize the risk to the insert security.
Also, generally, if the effective cutting
edge length is less than the depth of
cut, a larger insert should be selected
or the depth of cut reduced.

Providing an insert with a nose radius af-
fects its strength and its ability to gener-
ate a surface nish. An excessive nose
radius may lead to vibration tendencies
and reduce the chipbreaking ability in n-
ishing operations. When the depth of cut
is very small, the nose radius acts as a
variable entering angle. Inserts are avail-
able in different nose radii to provide a
suitable option for the application. The
radii are generally within the range from
0.2 to 2.4 mm.
For rough turning, select the largest nose
radii availble for the insert so as to pro-
vide machining security and high metal
removal rate through a high feed rate. If
vibration tendencies occur, select a small-
er nose radius. In roughing operations, it
is essential that the maximum feed rec-
ommendations for the nose radius in
question is not exceeded. A rule of thumb
for rough turning says that the feed se-
lected should be in the region of half the
nose radius value. For example, if an in-
sert with a nose radius of 0.8 mm is cho-
sen, the feed should be 0.4 mm/rev.
The chart for maximum feed in relation
to the nose radius is based on the maxi-
mum recommended feed of 2/3 of the
nose radius. The higher feed rates apply
for inserts having a strong cutting edge
with at least a 60 degree point angle, are
single sided, are used with a smaller en-
tering angle than 90 degrees and are
used in materials with good machinabili-
ty with moderate cutting speeds.
For nishing operations, the Wiper in-
serts should always be a consideration
as these provide a solution which does
not follow the conventional relationship
between feed rate, nose radius and ge-
nerated surface nish. These allow the
feed to be doubled while maintaing the
same surface nish value or improve the
surface nish value considerably at the
present feed rate, as well as improving
the chipbreaking capability.
Guide for maximum feed for various nose radii
For nishing, see Wiper inserts. For roughing, the most useful radii are 1.2 1.6 mm.

Are optimised for toolholders with 93 entering angle. Can also
be applied in toolholders that have entering angle in the range
of 9294.
TNMX
Works with toolholders that have entering angle in the range of
9193.
The DNMX/TNMX Wiper insert has a corner conguration that de-
viates from a conventional DNMG/TNMG insert, which means that
on some operations it has an effect on workpiece dimensions.
There is no Wiper-effect when making chamfers with Wiper C-
and W-style inserts.
Negative basic shaped P-style inserts with a 100-degree corner
have been provided with Wiper-effect.
Thanks to increased feed rate the chipbreaking is normally im-
proved with Wiper inserts.
The ceramic and CBN Wiper inserts have had their cutting ed-
ges prepared for their particular application ranges: the cera-
mic inserts have edge preparations type T01020 and T02520,
and CBN inserts have T01020.

The modied nose radius is within the tolerances for C- and

not give rise to any programming complications. The corner has
been given a new carefully developed shape rather than just
