USER GUIDE Machining Tips Correct grooving sequence When making a groove where the insert’s width is not a way that the material is always in the center identical to the groove, it is recommended to select an of the insert. This practice will ensure better insert that will enable to groove symmetrically in such chipbreaking and symmetrical cutting forces. 1 2 3 GROOVE-TURN Eliminating a “Hanging Ring” When turning at the end of a bar or towards a recess between two walls, a “hanging ring” may be formed.

Internal Machining Improving Internal Turning in a Blind Hole Optimizing Internal Machining Toolholder Overhang Internal turning in a blind hole brings about the It is always recommended to use the minimum possible problem of chip exit. When the tool reaches the rear overhang in order to maintain maximum toolholder side wall, chips may be caught between the wall rigidity. As a general rule, maximum overhang should and the insert, possibly causing insert breakage. not exceed three times the holder-bar diameter.
