Insert shape

The insert shape should be selected relative to the entering angle accessibility from tools requirements. The largest possible nose angle should be selected to provide insert strength and reliability, however, this has to be balanced against the cut variation need to be performed. A large nose angle is strong, but requires more machine power and has a higher tendency for vibration. A small nose angle is weaker and has a small cutting edge engagement, both of which can make it more sensitive to the heat effects.

Scale 1: indicates the cutting edge strength. The inserts to the left have larger nose angles and are correspondingly stronger. The right hand inserts have better versatility and accessibility.

Scale 2: indicates that vibration tendencies increase to the left side, while power requirements decrease to the right.
