SELECTION GUIDE PARTING PARTING Z-Type UA/UT-Type • Cutting edge with high positive rake, suitable for parting • A chipformer for use at low feeds tubes, thin walled arts and for small diameters • Recommended for CrNi alloys and low • Suitable for soft materials carbon steel, especially in the bearing industry • Excellent for cutting bearing steel and stainless steel and on similar, ductile materials • Low-to-medium feeds • The narrow chipformer design ensures short deformed chips and provides improved performance W insert • UA and UT are similar chipformers. UT is f≈ 28 [mm/rev] slightly tighter than the UA chipformer W insert Austenitic High Nonferrous f≈ 40 [mm/rev] Alloy Steel Temp.
