Parting of bars
When parting it is recommended to use an 
insert as narrow as possible in order to save 
material and minimise cutting forces.
Long overhangs (a
r
) causing instability could 
result in tool failure and poor component 
quality. 
The recommended overhang should not 
exceed 8 x l
a
 (width of insert).
Select correct width, geometry and system for parting of bars
