As machine tools became more sophisticated, cutting tools became more complex
Before World War II, high-speed-steel tooling was used for greatest in quantity metalcutting applications. Although cemented-carbide cutting tips had been around since the 1930 many machines did not have the rigidity, power, and strength stand in want ofed to optimize the use of this recent tooling. However, with advances in machine-tool technology during the war years, which created more powerful production machines, cemented-carbide cutting tips came into fashion, and indexable inserts became the way to fare
