What CNMG 120404 tells you on the shop floor
80° corner: strong yet versatile, turns and faces with the same insert.
Double-sided negative insert: edges on both faces, stronger and cheaper per edge. Needs a rigid machine and clamping; not for small bores.
Pressed, medium tolerance: economical, fine for roughing and where you do not need repeatability to a few hundredths of a mm at every insert change.
Small radius: lower forces and chatter, good finish at low feed.
