Jason V. ★★★★★

The single-sided chip breaker on this VCMT-222 really helps clear chips when I'm roughing steel; the 0.25" IC fits my boring bar perfectly.

Thomas P. ★★★★★

The 7° relief angle on this VCMT-222 insert makes for a super clean finish on my steel parts—cuts noticeably smoother than cheaper ones I’ve tried. Center hole’s single countersink seated nicely on the holder without any wobble.

William ★★★★★

I was a bit worried the 35° diamond shape would be too aggressive, but paired with the 7° relief it cuts clean without chatter. The single-sided chip breaker handles the swarf well, and the 1/4" IC is exactly what my holder needed.
