Cutting data for parting and grooving

Speeds and feeds for parting and grooving
- Use correct feed rates for the insert and material
- Start at a low feed rate to ensure insert security and surface finish, then increase feed rate to improve chip breaking
- Run at a cutting depth larger than the corner radius if side turning. This will improve chip control
- Setting the cutting speed too low will result in inadequate tool life. Always run recommended cutting speed, vc m/min (ft/min)
