SCGX insert is the specialist in external turning. The function of a chip breaker is to improve chip control and to reduce cutting resistance.
A better balance between the two will increase the machining performance.
If chips can be broken into suitable lengths by the chip breaker, they will not wrap around the workpiece, vibration will decrease and tools will not be so easily damaged.
Chip breakers also affect cutting resistance.
Reduced cutting resistance can avoid chipping and fracturing of the cutting edge caused by vibration.
Additionally, lower cutting resistance can decrease the load and heat, and can delay the development of tool wear.
