Recommendation for rough cutting of carbon Carbon Steel·Alloy Steel Corner
RP and alloy steel 3°
.013"
ap (inch)
Double sided chipbreaker.
For interrupted cutting and cutting through scale. .013" Flank
Good balance of cutting edge strength and low cutting
resistance. f (IPR) CNMG432RP
Stainless Steel Corner
Recommendation for rough cutting of stainless steel
RM 3°
.012"
Double sided chipbreaker.
ap (inch)
Excellent fracture resistance during interrupted cutting due to
the optimum cutting edge land angle and honing geometry. .012" Flank
