- Main goal; to increase edge stability
- Stable edge form : to avoid edge's chipping
- Stable, low edge surface roughness:to decrease friction between tool and workpiece
- Stable material: to avoid material component leaching e.g. cobalt leaching
- Without edge preparation
- Different work pieces material need:
- different edge preparation
- Over the optimum edge preparation:
- performance drops down abruptly
- Optimum edge preparation can:
- increase performance enormously
