Troubleshooting

12 tips to help diagnose problems

ProblemCauseRemedy
Heavy chisel edge wear cutting speed too low increase cutting speed
  • feed too high
  • reduce feed
  • excessive honing of cutting lip
  • reduce cutting lip honing

Crumbling at intersection, clearance angle too small increase clearance angle

web thinning and cutting lip

  • excessive honing of cutting lip
  • reduce cutting lip honing
  • incorrect tool type
  • apply suitable tool

Plastic deformation of outer cutting speed too high reduce cutting speed

corner

  • insufficient coolant volume
  • increase volume/pressure
  • incorrect or no honing at corner
  • correct honing

Misalignment non rigid conditions, insufficient workpiece rigid clamping of workpiece

clamping

  • deviation from concentricity too large
  • check and correct concentricity if possible
  • spotting area transverse
  • use milling cutter (2-fluted) for spotting
  • chisel edge too large
  • reduce chisel edge

Heavy burring on break- feed too high reduce feed

through

  • max. wear values exceeded
  • reduce tool change intervals
  • excessive honing of cutting lip
  • reduce cutting lip honing

Unsatisfactory surface quality non rigid conditions, insufficient workpiece rigid clamping of workpiece

clamping

  • deviation from concentricity too large
  • check and correct concentricity if possible
  • insufficient coolant volume
  • increase volume/pressure
