Grooving Inserts WDN style APT

Grooving Inserts WDN style for Turning, Parting Off & Profiling APT brand by Associated Production Tools

Available in Grade NK240, Universal Grade for use on a wide range of materials.

Chip Breaker Geometry 'T' (NT) first choice for General Use and is most suited for Turning and Grooving. Best geometry for cutting a wide range of materials including Stainless, High Temp Alloys & Aluminium

Chip Breaker Geometry 'M' (NM) is best suited for Parting & Grooving on Steel & Cast Iron, use Geometry LM (left hand) & RM (right hand) for parting with minimal pip, reduce feed by 20% - 50% when Parting with handed inserts to avoid deflection.

Chip Breaker Geometry RM (Radius) for Profile Turning and Radius Forming, works well on all materials
