However, if finishing at very high speeds, consistent high-pressure coolant can be used to manage heat. Never use intermittent coolant.\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this insert suitable for roughing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003csmall\u003eA: No. Cermet is brittle compared to carbide. It is strictly for light finishing where the goal is surface Ra and dimensional accuracy.\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use this for stainless steel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003csmall\u003eA: While possible, CT3000 is optimized for ISO P Steel. For Stainless Steel (ISO M), we recommend PVD grades like TT9080 to prevent work hardening.\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cfooter style=\"padding: 25px; background: #47479F; color: #ffffff; text-align: center; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMachinist Tip: To maximize mirror finish results, increase your Vc (Cutting Speed) and decrease your fn (Feed Rate).
