If using coolant, ensure a high and constant volume to avoid thermal shock.\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 benefit of the 0.8mm radius for finishing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003csmall\u003eA: The 0.8mm radius (08) provides a stronger corner than 0.4mm, allowing for slightly higher feed rates while still achieving a very high surface finish with the FS chipbreaker.\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;\"\u003ePro-Tip: Cermet grades like CT3000 thrive at high speeds.
