    The marking of interchangeable cutting inserts according to ISO 6987 does not include the know-how of cutting tool manufacturers in the design of chip-breakers or the application of coatings. These small differences have a key effect on the efficiency and service life of cutting tools and result in qualitative and quantitative differences in production, which is related to the reduction or increase in costs associated with the appropriate choice of cutting tool. The design of the inserts also affects the shape and size of the chips produced, which is important to monitor for a safe machining process and subsequent waste management. This research deals with the effect of selected factors on the tool life and the form of the chips produced.

    Keywords: Tool wear, coated carbide layers, Indexable inserts, Hardened steel, chip evaluation, SEM, turning
