Why the Notched Style Left-Hand Insert Makes a Difference
Ever wonder why a notched insert matters? Think of it like a groove in a vinyl record—designed to guide the needle precisely, the notch in this insert guides the cutting edge so it stays steady in the groove you're creating. This keeps cuts clean and profiling super accurate, reducing chances of wandering or rough edges even on trickier materials.
