How to get metal cutting processes right 

Getting metal cutting processes right means knowing the workpiece material, then choosing the correct cutting insert geometry and grade to suit the specific application. 

 The interaction between an optimized cutting insert geometry and grade for a certain workpiece material is the key to successful machining.

 These three main basic factors must be carefully considered and adapted for the machining operation in question.

 The knowledge and understanding of how to work with and employ these factors are of vital importance.
