Corner alternatives

Sharp Corner
Some 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 gombination of light radial pressure, long toollife and a smooth surface.

Wiper
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 toolife and the smooth surface finish.
