Abstract / scope
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 1832:1985), which has been technically revised, and in particular, subclause 5.1 (letter symbols K and P for the cutting edge condition) have been included. Establishes a code for the designation of the usual types of indexable inserts for cutting tools, in hardmetal (carbide) or any other cutting materials, such as ceramics, etc., in order to simplify orders and specifications for such inserts.
