Grades:
Grade refers to the cutting tool material and is normally the last part of the insert designation (e.g. “TP2501”). The grades covered by Seco Compare include general ISO turning, parting-off and grooving as well as ISO advanced materials such as CBN, PCD, ceramics and cermet.

Chipbreaker:
Chipbreaker refers to the visible design features, including cutting geometry, and is often designated with a letter and number combination separated by a “-“ after the ISO/ANSI designation (e.g. “CNMG120408-M3”). Seco Compare can recommend inserts with chipbreakers for ISO turning.
“For an accurate comparison and optimal machining, ensure your current insert is appropriate for the given application and material before conducting your search.”
