KGDI: Stable machining with excellent chip control and smooth chip evacuation

1. Excellent chip control with GMI chipbreaker for internal grooving

Evenly breaks chips in various cutting conditions with newly designed chipbreaker geometry. Good chip control even in finishing applications with small depths of cut.
