      Type U               Type M                Type R

- U geometry - Optimally designed with high positive depression in the middle for general grooving & parting applications

Ensures good chip for machine with medium to high feed rates.

-M geometry - Specially designed with an additional bumpy chipbreaker element to control chips encountered in copying and chamfering operation apart from grooving and parting.

-R geometry - specially developed to achieve a semi circular profile at the end apart from generating the groove. Also useful in copy turning of the profiles.
