Buying advice

When selecting turning inserts, consider the workpiece material (steel, stainless, cast iron, aluminum), required surface finish, and depth of cut. Higher grades offer better tool life but at higher cost. For general purpose, CNMG 432 shape is versatile. Check compatibility with your tool holder's pocket size.
