  • Actual value of surface roughness is approximately 1.5 to 3 times higher (for steel).
  • Theoretical surface roughness is calculated using the following formula: h = (f2/8r) × 103
  • Comparison of Cutting Force by Different Nose Radii

35% Increase With Wiper Insert

Wiper Insert 10 to 15% Increase With Large Nose Inserts

Wiper Wiper

Inserts with a larger nose radius also give better surface roughness during actual machining. Lower cutting force than wiper inserts allows high-feed cutting.
