This new grade can be used for both finishing and roughing operations with higher cutting speeds, in smooth and slightly interrupted cuts.

The product range of the KY1320 grade consists of precision-ground and finish-sintered versions of Kenloc and Kendex negative indexable inserts.

In addition to the standard versions, customized solutions are available.
