Insert, WCMT 2.52 Carbide

Swapped out my old worn insert for this WCMT 2.52 and the chip break is noticeably more aggressive on 304 stainless. The ISO reference makes it dead simple to confirm compatibility with my existing tool holder. Exactly what I needed for the shop.

Had to grab a spare for my indexable turning tool and this WCMT050304 insert seated perfectly without any play. The carbide edge held up through some tough steel passes with no chipping so far.

Cut a few stainless steel parts with this WCMT insert and the edge held up way longer than expected. Nice chip breaking for a small 2.5mm size, no chatter on the finish pass.
