    How do you call it? WNMG 432 or WNMG 080408 ?

    Eventually we will be getting into stick tools and turning inserts. If you are looking for an insert, such as a WNMG with a .032 nose radius. Do you search WNMG432-xxx or WNMG080408-xxx? Both are the same insert, just one is the ISO designation. Wondering if I should put both in the product name.

    When we make endmill holders not only do we check concentricity inside the bore at several depths but we also put a gage pin in the holder tighten the set screw and check runout of the pin at 2x dia and 4x dia.
