The WIDIA™ three-step insert selection system makes choosing and 1 Select the Insert Geometry: applying the most productive tool easy. Tool recommendations are Based on the needed depth of cut and feed rate, based on six workpiece material groups. choose the geometry that best matches your needs.
2 Select the Grade: Determine your cutting conditions, and choose the proper grade.
