What is a Wiper Insert? a Improving Surface Finish

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
rubbing, therefore, delaying the progression of wear and increasing the tool life of the insert.
improves cutting efficiency.
a Improving Chip Control
Under high feed conditions, the chips generated become thicker and are more easily
broken, thus, chip control is improved.
