Specifies a graph format for the development of diagrams showing chipbreaker indexable insert performance. Establishes and codes classification zones.

This International Standard establishes a graph format used to develop diagrams depicting chipbreaker indexable insert performance. Performance results may be derived from the cutting test described in clause 5.

Classification zones are established and coded in this International Standard. Suppliers of chipbreaker insert products may classify their products using the code of the zone within which the primary use of their product is indicated.

It is important to acknowledge that the relationships established by diagrams developed according to this International Standard may vary from one work material to another, as well as with other machining variables, and that it is not the purpose of this International Standard to serve as a specific guide to the practical application of chipbreaker insert products, but rather grant the user a sort of pre-selection, on a general level, that will allow him to look at only those items that have the best chance of satisfying his needs.
