Influence of preheating on performance of circular carbide inserts in end milling of carbon steel

Circular inserts have much higher tool life as compared to conventional rectangular inserts because of their capability to be indexed through small angles for repeated use. Their only limitation is high chattering tendencies due to high contact length in conjunction with small uncut chip thickness....
