GENERAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION TURNING AND GROOVING OPTIMIZING INTERNAL MACHINING Tool holder overhang Efficient use of insert corners 1. The first pass uses one corner for roughing. 2. T he other corner is used on the return path for semi-finishing or finishing. ØD 3. T ool position looks out of sequence with the amount of material that is removed. Lmax 4. R apid position back to initial groove, continue with face turning toward center. L max ≤ 3D IMPROVING INTERNAL TURNING IN A BLIND HOLE Internal turning in a blind hole brings about the problem of chip evacuation. When the tool reaches the rear side wall, chips may be caught between the wall and the insert, causing breakage. Two solutions that can eliminate this problem: 1 2 1 2 3 4 5 First solution Second solution 1. Start by grooving at the rear wall. 1. Start by grooving at the rear wall. 2. Continue by turning from the inside 2. Pull the tool back to the outside. toward the outside. Turn the final diameter from outside toward the groove. 1360
