General Discussion » Valve seat cutter carbide inserts » 11/19/2019 9:55 pm |
Hello. What kind of life expectancy are you all seeing on your seat cutter inserts? How many seats are you able to cut before needing to resharpen the insert and how many seats are you able to cut before needing to replace the insert. Typical carbide non radius 3 angle insert cutting typical oem cast alloy and pm seats of domestic and imports.
Thanks,
Mike
