According to the application, NLD and NGD chipbreaker inserts have a wide application range able to be run at cutting speeds between 100 and 3,000 m/min with optimised feed rates around 0.15 mm/rev.

    UK manufacturing sees modest growth while input prices drop

    According to a survey of buyers, UK manufacturing has seen a modest improvement for the start of 2016. The PMI index climbed to 52.9 in January, the highest level in three months.

The report noted that the increase in production was partly achieved through reducing backlogs of work as purchasers reduce stock levels and move towards leaner purchasing practices.
