Work Material
Cast Iron - The feed direction of workpiece is the same as that of cutter
Aluminium Alloy - - rotation. So the chip thickness starts from the maximum and
Hardened Materials - decreases to zero at the end of cut. The tool life is long with less
heat and minimum work hardening of workpiece.
