Why the 0° Relief Angle Makes a Difference
The 0° relief angle means the insert's cutting edge is perfectly perpendicular to the workpiece. Think of it like pushing straight through butter instead of slicing at an angle—this results in a cleaner cut and less heat generation. This setup is great for materials that chip nicely and helps keep your cuts precise and your tools cool during intensive work.
