CCMT 09T304 / CCMT 32.51, chip breaker BF, grade FM324 — positive 80° rhombic turning insert.
3/8" inscribed circle, 5/32" thick, 1/64" corner radius. The BF breaker is the Finishing geometry: 0.002–0.008 ipr (0.05–0.2 mm/rev) at 0.02–0.06" (0.5–1.5 mm) depth of cut. FM324 is a PVD grade — universal multi-purpose grade for mid and low cutting speeds — low-carbon and alloyed steel, stainless, cast iron, Inconel and titanium alloys.
