I picked up a Valenite V555 Face Mill that is 5" (56043) and it takes pentagon shaped inserts. When I looked it up on Valenites web page it looks like there are "wiper" inserts listed below the list of the other inserts. Can anyone explain to me what these are and what they are used for? Are they used on there own or in concert with an actual insert?
Also, this appears to use positive rake inserts.
I will forward you the PDF in case you need to see what I am talking about.
The cutter is 56043 and is listed on page 5 with the available inserts.
Thanks for any help.
