Why the Chipbreaker Design Boosts Your Cutting Efficiency
That chipbreaker you see on the TPGM insert isn’t just decorative—it’s a smart little ramp that helps break metal chips into smaller, manageable pieces while you cut. Imagine slicing through a loaf of bread; the chipbreaker is like a breadknife’s serrations that help produce clean slices without crumbling. This means less chip clogging and smoother operation. So, you spend less time stopping to clear debris and more time getting quality cuts.
