| Features | Chipbreaker for semi-finishing stainless steel. Micro-preparation of the cutting edge provides both sharpness and high strength, to machine stainless steel with high productivity and long insert life. 80° trigon shape: 6 usable cutting edges (3 per side) with an 80° tip, for longitudinal turning and facing with 95° toolholders. |
Available INNOT grades
| Grade | ISO | Coating | Composition | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IT7125 | M | PVD | AlTiN | Universal grade for turning stainless steel in continuous and interrupted cuts. Smooth, low-friction coating, high nano-hardness and excellent oxidation resistance. |
| IT7225 ★ | M | PVD | AlTiSiN + TiSiN | First-choice grade for turning stainless steel. Nano-gradient coating on a sub-micron grain substrate: excellent wear resistance and toughness. |
★ Recommended grade for this chipbreaker. PVD = physical vapour deposition coating. ISO M = stainless steels.

Guide values for the BM chipbreaker. On martensitic stainless steel only IT7225 is recommended.
Internal turning (boring) of stainless steel (ISO M) – BM chipbreaker
Starting values for internal turning with a boring bar, derived from this insert's external turning data: cutting speed −15%, feed −20%, maximum depth of cut −40%. Negative inserts are mounted on boring bars for bores from about Ø 25 mm upwards (Ø 32–40 mm for the larger sizes).
| Material | Condition | Vc (m/min) by grade | fn (mm/rev) | ap (mm) |

Difficult | IT7225: 70 – 135 | 0.08 – 0.34 | 1.00 – 3.50 |
With a boring bar overhang above 3 times the diameter (steel bar) or 5 times (carbide or anti-vibration bar), reduce speed and feed further. Use the bar's internal coolant to clear the chips.
Grade selection by cutting condition
| Cutting condition | Recommended grade |
|---|---|
| Stable (continuous cut) | IT7225 |
| Average | IT7225 / IT7125 |
| Difficult (interrupted cut) | IT7125 |
IT7225 allows higher cutting speeds; IT7125 offers greater toughness in interrupted cuts.
