9 TYPES OF WEAR ON MILLING INSERTS CHECK THE SEAT CONDITION OF THE CUTTING INSERT Before clamping a new cutting insert or changing the edge, it is necessary to clean the seat and check its condition or the condition of the anvil and wedge (especially the damage under the corner of the cutting insert). CHECK AND SERVICE THE CLAMPING PARTS It is also important to check the clamping parts, including clamping levers, screws, wedges and clamps. Only use original, undamaged parts (found in the catalogue). Regularly lubricate the threads and the binding surface of screws using, for example, heat-resistant lubricant (MOLYKOTE). For assembly and disassembly, only use screwdrivers and wrenches specified in our catalogue or recommended by the tool manufacturer. Be careful not to over-tighten. To avoid this, we advise using a pre-set torque wrench. CHECK THE TIGHTENING Before tightening, check the fit of the cutting insert on the whole of the binding surface and in the radial and axial directions. Cutting inserts and tools must always be clean and undamaged. 782
