It is often recommended to run dry in continuous cuts to avoid thermal shock, though high-pressure coolant can be used if thermal stability is maintained.\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why use CT3000 over a coated carbide grade?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003csmall\u003eA: Coated carbide is for bulk material removal and speed. CT3000 Cermet is for surface quality. Cermet does not weld to steel, preventing the 'dull' look often seen with carbide.\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the maximum recommended feed rate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003csmall\u003eA: For finishing with a 0.4mm radius, keep the feed below 0.15 mm\/rev to maintain the best surface Ra values.\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: Cermet is brittle compared to carbide.
