  <content>h1. Carbide Grade

Select the proper insert grade from pages 114-115. Material type, machine capabilities and type of hole, i.e., Interrupted Cut, can affect the grade of carbide used.

h3. Coated

* Longer service life at higher speeds.

h3. Uncoated

* Less expensive and effective in materials for which coatings do notadd any benefit.

h3. Cermet

* Yields the highest speed and durability for selected materials.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

h1. Radius

Finish, bar rigidity, insert life, and engineering features of the workpiece all contribute to choosing the proper insert radius.

h3. Larger

* Better surface finish and longer insert life.

h3. Smaller

* Less cutting pressures, in extreme conditions, reduced bar flex and chatter.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

h1. Periphery

h3. Pressed

* Utility grade for general purpose. Longer tool life.

h3. Ground

* Better for finishing where tight bore tolerances are required.</content>
