WIPER INSERT
What is a Wiper Insert? a Improving Surface Finish
• The wiper insert is designed with a wiper edge that is Under the same machining conditions as conventional breakers, but with the feed rate
situated where the straight edge meets the corner increased, the surface finish of the work material can be improved.

rate is doubled. When a change to high feed conditions, the time required to cut one component is decreased,
• Machining at high feed rates thus more parts can be machined with each insert. In addition, the high feed rate prevents
improves cutting efficiency. rubbing, therefore, delaying the progression of wear and increasing the tool life of the insert.
a Improving Chip Control
Under high feed conditions, the chips generated become thicker and are more easily
broken, thus, chip control is improved.
