Is this possibly due to the less backrake?


That is a zero back rake tool (assuming the tool holder isn't tilted)...
usually used for brass, bronze, and cast iron, but suitable for testing
the principle. As you can see, back rake makes a big difference in how a
tool hogs -- especially on a fairly flimsy machine.

Its probably because the tool nose radius is bigger on the insert tool
