The \u003cstrong\u003eCT3000 grade\u003c\/strong\u003e is specifically engineered for finishing carbon and alloy steels (ISO P). Unlike traditional carbide, cermet offers exceptional chemical stability, which prevents workpiece material from \"smearing\" or welding to the tool edge. Combined with the \u003cstrong\u003eFG chipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e—designed for precise chip control at light depths of cut—this insert ensures high dimensional accuracy and a superior reflective surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection style=\"margin-bottom: 40px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #47479f;

Can I use Cermet for interrupted cuts?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 5px; font-size: 0.95em;\"\u003eCermet is more brittle than carbide. While it can handle very light interruptions, it is primarily designed for continuous finishing. For heavy interruptions, use a PVD-coated carbide grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-radius: 5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin: 0;\"\u003e2.
