Why the Notched Style Insert Makes a Difference in Grooving
Have you ever tried cutting a groove and found the tool slipping or the cut becoming uneven? The notched edge on the NG3189R insert acts like a tiny gripping hook that bites just enough into the metal to control the cut without dragging or chipping. Think of it like the treads on your running shoes gripping the track – it keeps everything steady and smooth for a clean, consistent groove. This design helps the insert stay on course, giving you crisper profiles and less rework.
