D.O.C TECHNICAL DATA y FINISHED SURFACE a Cutting Edge Run-out Accuracy Cutting edge run-out accuracy of indexable inserts on the cutter body greatly affects the surface finish and tool life. Minor Cutting Edge Large Poor Finished Surface Chipping Due to Vibration Shorten Tool Life PeripheralCutting Edge Run-out Rapid Wear Growth Small Good Finished Surface Stable Tool Life Cutting Edge Run-out and Accuracy in Face Milling a Improve Finished Surface Roughness Usually the minor cutting edges are set parallel to the face of a milling cutter and theoretically the finished surface accuracy should be maintained, even if run-out accuracy is poor.
