Width class 1)

The parting and grooving widths of the MSS system are divided into width classes. Every width class
represents a certain range of parting and grooving widths. The appropriate tool can be assigned to the
selected grooving width by means of the width class.

1) Ideally the module and the insert have the same width class. This combination results
in the best possible application safety.
