2. Maximum cost per edge for shoulder cutters with a center cutting edge
– A single insert can be used either for center edge or peripheral edge and can be used twice in each position – four total cutting edges for highest insert economy.
3. Flat hole bottom
– Easy to make hole bottoms as flat as possible. Also makes it suitable for counter boring.
