Understanding the Identification System for Indexable Inserts
American National Standard ANSI B212.4-2002 covers the identification system for indexable-type inserts for both single-point and multiple-point cutting tools. This standard classifies inserts based on shape, clearance, tolerance, type, size, thickness, cutting-point configuration, edge preparation, hand, and facet size.
